Deep due diligence on partners, real estate and M&A transactions in 48–72 hours. We surface what brokers and auditors stay silent about — and then we fix what we find.
We don't just identify risk — we remediate it. Hidden encumbrances, offshore nominee traps and competitor leaks get documented; email infrastructure debt and exposed assets get patched; counterparty contract terms get hardened together with your counsel. Capital from $1,000,000 to $20,000,000 — lawful methods and public sources only.
The price is fixed before we start. If the work shows a deeper level is needed, you decide whether to continue — no surprises on the invoice. See the sample report →
An audit that ends in a PDF leaves the risk where it was. ARGUS closes the loop: every finding gets an owner, a fix and a proof that the fix holds.
Registers, courts, cadastre, DNS and archives — each finding tied to a primary source and a date.
We fix what is technical (email authentication, domain and exposure debt) and draft what is contractual for your counsel to sign off.
Before/after evidence: DNS lookups, DMARC reports, re-scans. You see that the fix holds — not just that it was promised.
Every fact in the report links to a primary source. Agents collect and cross-check; an analyst verifies and draws the conclusions.
Swiss federal commercial register index: companies, signatories, change history.
US public-company filings, major holdings and insider transactions.
Directors, persons with significant control (PSC), charges and accounts.
Cadastre and property registers: title, zoning, mortgages and arrests where access is open.
The largest open company database — director links across jurisdictions.
Copernicus Sentinel-2 and commercial Planet imagery under project licence: is it built, or only a render.
MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and breach notifications for your own domains and accounts via lawful services — never stolen databases.
Exa neural search and the Firecrawl crawler: website archives, press, mentions in dozens of languages.
We start from your question, not from searching for its own sake: which decision are you making, and what could derail it?
We sign the NDA and fix the objective, targets and jurisdictions. 20 minutes.
Agents work through registers, courts, cadastre, archives and press — every item with source and date.
An analyst reconciles contradictions, builds the relationship graph and separates facts from assumptions.
PDF report with a risk map and a 30-minute debrief: what it means for your deal.
Technical fixes executed, contractual fixes drafted for counsel, and before/after proof delivered.
ARGUS FORENSIC is strategic due diligence and M&A advisory: analysis of public registers, open metadata and documents you provide, for your business decision. We do not conduct detective work — and the line is drawn hard.
Build your brief in a few clicks — it opens in WhatsApp or prefills the call booking, in the language you choose. Names, companies and deal details only after the NDA.
No names or company names — only the outline of the task.
We sign the NDA before you name the target. Materials are stored encrypted and deleted after delivery unless you ask otherwise.
Packages 01–02 can be paid through Contra escrow: funds reach us only after the report is delivered. For tickets from $5,500 an independent escrow agent, including in Delaware, is possible — agreed on the call.
Contra EscrowPre-deal work starts within 24 hours of NDA and payment. If the deal closes sooner, say so in the brief — we prioritise the riskiest items.
