A sole trader may add a second income stream. A landlord may begin running…

A business relationship can take months to build and only minutes to approve. A supplier presents a strong proposal. A potential partner offers attractive commercial terms. A service provider appears to understand the company’s needs. After a few meetings, the decision may seem obvious. Yet businesses that move too quickly can overlook a basic question: what is known about the company behind the proposal? This question is becoming increasingly important as businesses work with more suppliers, agencies and partners across borders. A company may be based in the United Kingdom, while its customers, investors or commercial partners are located elsewhere…
