# ProfCheck

> ProfCheck Ltd provides OSINT-based KYC, due diligence and background checks on companies, their shareholders and executives, and on individuals. It combines unique search technology with expert human analysts. Every material finding is cross-checked across at least two independent sources and given a confidence level. Tagline: "We mind the gap to protect you."

ProfCheck is a professional due-diligence and background-check service built entirely on Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT). profcheck.co is a single-page marketing site available in nine languages, plus a Knowledge Hub and privacy/accessibility pages. Every material finding in a report carries a resolvable source link and a High / Medium / Low confidence level.

## Services
- [KYC & Due Diligence](https://profcheck.co/#services): Verify who a company or individual is - identity, registration, ownership and Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBO), sanctions/blacklist and PEP screening, adverse media.
- [Background & CV Verification](https://profcheck.co/#services): Deep checks on individuals - criminal activity and litigation history, negative economic signals and conflicts of interest, CV authentication against external sources.
- [Risk Assessment & Evaluation](https://profcheck.co/#services): Tailor-made risk assessments of companies, suppliers, owners and managers, including geopolitical risk where relevant.

## How it works
- [What we investigate](https://profcheck.co/#investigate): Company identity & corporate history; ownership & UBO; board & executives; sanctions & blacklists (OFAC, EU, UK, UN, INTERPOL, FBI); Politically Exposed Persons (PEP); criminal, litigation & regulatory proceedings; financial health & insolvency signals; adverse media; social-media footprint; website & domain intelligence (WHOIS, hosting, SSL, email security); data-leak, whistleblower & darknet exposure.
- [Methodology](https://profcheck.co/#method): Unique technology scans the open, deep and dark web (including web.archive.org) across diverse, independent sources in any language; expert human analysts then verify, contextualise and cross-check every material finding across at least two independent sources. Confidence is graded High / Medium / Low, gaps are stated explicitly, and subject-supplied documents are treated as claims to be independently verified, never as proof.
- [What you receive](https://profcheck.co/#receive): An executive summary with a Low / Medium / High risk-rating dashboard, detailed findings by category with hyperlinked sources, red flags and practical recommendations, and a full source list (including sources checked that returned no adverse findings).
- [Who it's for](https://profcheck.co/#audience): Financial institutions, investors and compliance / AML teams; companies onboarding partners, suppliers or counterparties; mergers & acquisitions and regulatory due diligence; cross-border transactions in high-risk jurisdictions or sectors.
