FiveBy Risk Assessment Services

STANDARD RISK ASSESSMENT

This level offers broad insight into reputational and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) risk by providing deeper understanding regarding company structure and ownership based on the information pulled from Sigma Terminal, regional business registries and tax databases, and local and national media reports. It provides a broad view into possible business partners, and insight into if deeper research is required.

ENHANCED RISK ASSESSMENT

Building on the Standard Risk Assessment, this level also includes detail on a company’s corporate structure, shareholders, ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) and other information that could present a regulatory or reputational risk. This level of assessment can be customized to include specific questions and provides information on additional red flags on money laundering, reputational risk, and possible regulatory red flags. Ideal for multinational corporations, high-profile companies, and firms that have foreign partners and resellers.

COMPREHENSIVE RISK EVALUATION

Building on the Enhanced Risk Assessment, this level provides extensive expert evaluation fully customized to requirements, including in-depth research into ownership location, business activities, history of sanctions evasion, links to criminal activities, and suspicious transactions. This level also flags possible regulatory changes and provides an assessment for future business. Ideal for multinational corporations concerned about business partners, supply chains, and foreign subsidiaries’ activities.
