INVESTOR SERVICES 02 / 06
Verify before you commit capital.
A documented basis for your next investment decision.
Before acquiring land, entering a joint venture or committing to a project, verify the legal, regulatory, commercial and operational position. We coordinate documentary checks, field verification and specialist reviews into a clear investor decision pack.

What you need
- The proposed transaction, decision deadline and key concerns.
- Company, counterparty and property identifiers.
- Available documents and permission to request records lawfully.
- Project location, intended use and the scope of specialist review.
What we verify
Land & property
Title or lease, survey and boundaries, permitted use, access, utilities, restrictions and encumbrance-related enquiries where legally accessible.
Regulatory
BPRA records, ZIPA position, lawfully obtainable registration/clearance records, ZEMA conditions, development approvals and sector permissions.
Project & technical
Design assumptions, existing permits, consultant and contractor standing, physical progress, utilities and unresolved delivery obligations.
Commercial & market
Demand, competitor mapping, comparable offerings, positioning, tourism and demographic evidence, infrastructure, logistics and field interviews.
Partner & counterparty
Identity, operational capability, references and lawful litigation/red-flag searches; reconcile representations with documents.
A CLEAR SEQUENCE
The process
Our coordination workflow is tailored to your project. Steps can run in parallel where appropriate; authority decisions and project dependencies govern the sequence.
Define the review
Agree the investment decision, access permissions, scope and material questions.
Build the evidence register
Log each document, issuer, date, version and verification status. Distinguish provided statements from independently verified facts.
Check records & visit the site
Coordinate lawful registry enquiries, field visits and the relevant specialist investigations.
Test the commercial case
Compare dated official data, local observations, competitive offerings and operating assumptions. Identify evidence gaps.
Report risks & conditions
Consolidate red flags, missing documents, responsibility for follow-up and conditions to satisfy before commitment.
