Why it matters
Citizenship- and residency-by-investment (CBI/RBI) programs are an increasingly popular tool for global citizens to operate across regions and pursue legitimate business interests. However, thorough background checks are essential to ensure the integrity of these schemes and to protect the reputation of all key stakeholders involved. Weak due diligence raises a series of red flags, exposing both governments and contractors to serious consequences.
How GIG adds value
- Partner-first approach: We like to think of ourselves as "partners" who discreetly support global risk consultancies tasked with CBI/RBI vetting, providing local intelligence that complements open-source and database checks.
- Depth where it’s needed most: Our investigators access field-level insights on financial integrity, litigation history, political exposure, and reputational risks in challenging jurisdictions.
- Protecting your credibility: By surfacing red flags early, we strengthen our clients' position with government clients and safeguard program integrity.
Our methodology
- Scoping: Define the parameters of the applicant check (identity, financial standing, reputation, political exposure).
- Field research: Discreet inquiries with local sources, supplemented by document and records checks.
- Analysis: Risk indicators mapped against regulatory requirements and client mandates.
- Integration: Reporting designed to slot directly into your CBI/RBI workflows and deliverables.
