Due diligence for the appointments that matter.
Standard screening confirms what a candidate has told you. For senior, regulated or sensitive roles, the better question is what the available record says that nobody thought to mention. Extant applies the same objective-led investigative method to hiring risk — proportionate, lawful, and reported with sources.
Transactions
Before you exchange, know who you're buying from. We check sellers, directors and owners against the public record: directorships and disqualifications, insolvency, judgments, undisclosed business interests, sanctions and public-office exposure, and whether the track record in the information memorandum holds up. Findings with the evidence attached, in days, so warranties are tested before they're relied on.
We report what the record shows. We do not provide legal or financial due diligence, and our report does not replace your firm's own client checks.
A specific question, answered with discipline.
Some matters fit no category: a counterparty who needs understanding, a specific concern that needs testing, a one-off question the record can answer. Define the objective; Extant will scope the enquiry, state what is and is not possible, and report what the record shows.
The same standards apply throughout: lawfully and proportionately sourced information, assessed by experienced analysts, reported with sources.
