Advisory & Due Diligence

Verification Is the Product

Before we broker a transaction — or when you simply need a second set of eyes — we run the same structured screening we apply to our own deals. Corporate verification, sanctions checks, documentary analysis, and a written risk memo. Advisory only, defined scope, no engagement pressure.

Important — Our Role

Our advisory work is analysis and coordination only. Finhanced is not a bank, lender, or instrument issuer, and does not procure, lease, or monetize financial instruments. We do not authenticate or verify the standing of any financial instrument with an issuer, and nothing here is legal, tax, or investment advice.

Four Checks Before Any Introduction

The same discipline runs on every deal we broker and every standalone review we take on. If a counterparty fails, the deal doesn't happen.

Corporate Verification

Registry confirmation, entity standing, and beneficial-ownership review — establishing that the counterparty is who they claim to be.

Sanctions & Watchlists

Screening against sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media watchlists on both sides of the transaction.

Documentary Review

Analysis of the contracts, specifications, and instrument documentation presented — checked for internal consistency and completeness.

Fraud Pattern Matching

Comparison against a working library of trade fraud schemes — advance-fee patterns, forged instruments, and known red flags.

Due Diligence, Delivered as a Memo

Evaluating a counterparty, an instrument, or a deal package? We run a structured review and deliver a written risk memo with a clear rating and reasoning. Defined scope, agreed in writing, no contingency and no pressure to proceed.

  • Defined Scope, Agreed in Writing

    Scope and fee agreed in writing before we begin. No success fee, no contingency tied to whether you transact.

  • Independent by Design

    Our finding is an analysis to inform your decision — we have no stake in whether the deal proceeds.

  • A Clear Written Rating

    You receive a memo: what we checked, what we found, the red and green flags, and an overall rating.

Who uses these reviews? +
Buyers and sellers vetting a new counterparty, intermediaries checking a deal package before they introduce it, and companies that have been approached with an instrument-based proposal and want an independent read before proceeding.
Do you verify financial instruments with the issuing bank? +
No. We are not a bank. We analyze the documentation presented and assess it against known fraud patterns, but we do not authenticate, value, or confirm the standing of any instrument with an issuer.
How long does a review take? +
It depends on scope and the responsiveness of the parties supplying documents. We agree a timeline in writing alongside the scope and fee before starting.

Payment Structure, Advised — Not Issued

For active physical transactions we broker or review, we advise on how payment should be structured and settled. A value-add for importers and exporters — never a substitute for your bank.

Letters of Credit

Guidance on LC terms, documentary requirements, and how to align an LC with the underlying sale contract — so your bank can execute cleanly.

Documentary Collections

Help structuring documents against payment or acceptance, and understanding the trade-offs versus an LC for a given corridor and counterparty.

Settlement Mechanics

Advice on sequencing, incoterms alignment, and the practical settlement steps that keep a physical transaction moving to delivery.

Advisory only: Finhanced is not a bank, lender, or instrument issuer, and does not procure, lease, or monetize financial instruments. We advise; your regulated bank issues and settles.
