Asset Tracing

As part of our asset tracing investigations, we will:

• provide evidence of global assets to determine whether they can be frozen and/or recovered using local and international laws
• assess whether the debt or respondent is, or has any association to the United Kingdom, strengthening the legal powers to enforce and recover via worldwide disclosure orders
• identify properties, commercial interests and other recoverable assets
• review company filings and evidence to identify links to tangible assets and bank accounts
• unravel and plot complex offshore company structures using link charting techniques
• liaise with the appropriate financial institutions to assist in the detection and recovery of misappropriated assets gained from fraud
• apply a forensic examination of digital assets to identify bank accounts, crypto-currency and links to other assets

Before engaging in costly litigation, it is essential to establish whether an individual or company has the financial means to satisfy a potential judgment. Our asset profiling investigations provide the legal profession, corporate clients, and insolvency practitioners with a clear picture of a subject’s financial standing.

We discreetly identify and assess both assets and liabilities, building a detailed profile that helps clients make informed decisions on whether to proceed with legal action, negotiate a settlement, or pursue alternative strategies.

What we cover:

Our investigations may include:

• Real estate ownership and property records
• Corporate interests, shareholdings, and directorships
• Vehicles, vessels, and other tangible assets
• Bankruptcies, insolvencies, and outstanding liabilities
• Evidence of undisclosed or offshore holdings
• Lifestyle analysis to identify assets not formally declared

By providing an independent, evidence-based assessment, we help your Organisations minimise the financial and reputational risks of litigation. Ultimately, asset profiling ensures legal strategies are grounded in financial reality, saving time, resources, and unnecessary expense.

Many organisations extend lines of credit to trusted or long-standing customers in order to maintain healthy revenue streams and support ongoing business relationships. However, these credit arrangements can sometimes escalate into significant outstanding debts, creating both financial and operational risks.

Our asset profiling investigations help clients assess whether an individual or company has sufficient assets that could be used as leverage in negotiating a repayment plan or enforcing recovery action.

When significant debtors move assets or relocate their residence, recovering what is owed can become complex and time-consuming. Our debtor tracing investigations help clients track and identify individuals or companies who are actively attempting to evade repayment.

Who is it for?

We work closely with the legal profession, insolvency practitioners, and corporate clients to provide actionable intelligence that supports recovery efforts. 

Our Approach:

Using a combination of digital forensics method, open-source intelligence, discreet enquiries, and investigative techniques, we are able to uncover a debtor’s current location and identify assets that may have been hidden, transferred, or dissipated.

Where appropriate, our findings can also support legal remedies such as freezing orders, disclosure applications, or enforcement actions, enabling clients to protect their position and maximise the chances of recovery.
