Problem

A top investment bank requested that Vcheck conduct background checks on a major healthcare company and its leadership team ahead of its IPO. The goal was to identify emerging risks and ensure that all potential challenges were uncovered before moving forward with the offering.

Solution

Vcheck conducted a human-led investigation across the U.S., U.K., and Canada, analyzing corporate registrations and ownership structures, revealing the target company’s complex structure under multiple brands. ​

The investigation uncovered civil litigations involving board members and executives, including securities lawsuits and shareholder disputes. Several individuals were linked to companies with adverse regulatory histories and political exposure. ​

Vcheck mapped ownership ties to a private equity firm and state-owned pension fund, revealing patterns of employment-related lawsuits and regulatory investigations indicating compliance challenges. ​

A media analysis, sanctions screening, and political exposure checks identified reputational concerns and elevated risk relationships. Individual profiles included property ownership, asset verification, and confirmation of professional histories and credentials. 

Impact

Vcheck’s due diligence provided the investment bank accurate insight into potential investment risks and opportunities, allowing them to make an informed decision about whether to proceed.
