Due Diligence— China & APAC Due Diligence
China and APAC due diligence for investors.
China and APAC due diligence is the investigation of companies, principals, suppliers, and partners in mainland China and the Asia-Pacific — ownership, state affiliation, sanctions, litigation, and adverse media — from native-language sources. OnTrial delivers bilingual reports with ownership diagrams and a scored risk summary.
For private equity, private credit, M&A, procurement, and corporate counsel. Fixed cost per engagement. Rush available.
What it is
Know who is across the table.
An English-language summary shows the counterparty's pitch. Native-language records show who controls it.
China and APAC due diligence establishes who owns and controls a counterparty, whether it carries state affiliation, sanctions, or PEP exposure, and what its litigation, regulatory, and media record shows — drawn from native-language Chinese and APAC registry, court, and customs records, not translated summaries.
It extends OnTrial due diligence and compliance screening into the region, for private equity and private credit deal teams and the companies they back. See the glossary for the terms of art.
