Independent Company Research That Fits Your Needs
An independent assessment can help you test assumptions, uncover concerns, and weigh the evidence before you do business with a company or invest in it. BCI brings a fresh perspective from outside the proposed relationship, with dedicated attention to the questions that matter to you. You receive analyst-reviewed findings, sources you can check, and practical next steps—with clear explanations of what the evidence supports and what remains uncertain.
Start with a Company Risk Snapshot for a first look, choose a Corporate Intelligence Brief for deeper analysis, or request Enhanced Due Diligence to examine specific concerns. Company Monitoring helps you follow important developments, with a focused setup review included. Custom Research is available for questions outside the standard packages.

Enhanced Due Diligence
Take a Closer Look Before Moving Forward
Some concerns need more than an initial company review. If questions about ownership, financing, litigation, or business performance could affect your plans, BCI examines those issues more closely. You receive an independent assessment of what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain, and what may need further verification.

What You Receive
- An overall company-risk assessment to put the specific concerns in context

- A timeline of important events when it helps explain the findings

BCI reviews each request individually and confirms the priority issues, final price, report scope, and expected turnaround before payment.
Company Monitoring
Keeping Track of Important Company Changes Is Vital
Staying informed takes time and attention, and your team may already have other commitments. BCI adds dedicated company monitoring without adding another recurring research assignment to your staff’s workload. We follow the company and issues that matter to you through scheduled public-source reviews, assess relevant changes and emerging concerns, and explain what they could mean for your plans.
Best For
- Important vendors or suppliers
- Strategic partners
- Investments
- Acquisition or integration situations
- Companies with previously identified risk issues
- Relationships where ongoing awareness matters
Standard Monitoring Includes
- One company
- Up to four monitoring priorities
- Weekly formal public-source monitoring cycles
- One consolidated monthly report
- Up to two defined event-driven alert criteria tied to selected MIRs
- Assessment of whether the risk picture appears stable, improving, or deteriorating
Price: From $175/month
You can request Company Monitoring directly. A focused setup review of the company and your agreed priorities is included; no separate BCI assessment purchase is required.
Standard Company Monitoring is based on scheduled review and is not a 24/7 or guaranteed real-time alert service.
Custom Research
When the Requirement Does Not Fit a Standard Package
Your research needs may not fit neatly into a standard package. Whether you’re comparing several companies, exploring ownership connections, or examining a specialized business question, BCI can help define a focused research approach.
