The Consignment: Frontline Due Diligence
Specialist advice that your regular advisors wish they had.
Bridge the gap between the operating environment and the boardroom, through our access to constrained and hostile environments. Remove the ambiguity of the information environment. Close the gaps in your risk register.
Whether you’re mid-transaction, planning for a crisis, cleaning up someone else’s mess, or you just know all not as it seems but don’t know quite why, we’re here to help.
Let us do the due diligence on your due diligence with our crack Frontline Due Diligence team.
De-risking hostile environments for investors and operators
De-risk your offshore investments. Fix failures in places that defy repair. Gain intelligence, produce effects, implement your insights.
We bridge decades operating, collecting and analysing in complex environments, with old-fashioned hand-written rigour, tailor-made to counter the idea that good information is abundant. It’s not.
We break you out of the permanent present to get past today and prepare you for what happens next. We will guide you from crisis to crisis to crisis, to capitalise on all the opportunities in between.
And we’ll have a team ready for you to fix actual problems, on the ground and in the boardroom.
Inform high-risk decision-making with boots on the ground, wherever you need them.
The closer you are to the source, the higher the fidelity of the information, the better the analysis, and the clearer the picture. We bring timeliness, access and corroboration in a world where that is ever harder to achieve.
Bring the humans back.
We believe in in-person briefings. That’s what we aspire to provide. But the next-best thing is capturing that human sentiment in words and images. It works. We build and run trusted networks, on the ground, where you need them. It means we can report on flashpoints in real-time, first-hand.
We lean on our vetted and likeminded network of sources to obtain information of value, add context based on our lived experience, then fuse it with practical analysis and proper insights, to fill the gaps.
Deliver hand-written rigour, tailor-made briefings, and real-world operational planning.
