Individual Due Diligence Reports
Background, associations, and reputation on a named individual. Commissioned before a hire, an appointment, an investment, or a partnership, where the cost of getting it wrong is higher than the cost of finding out.

Start a scoping conversationWhat we do
Company Intelligence Reports
Ownership, litigation history, regulatory record, and reputation on a company or corporate group. Used to test what a counterparty says about itself against what the record shows, before capital, contract, or credit is committed.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Deeper enquiry for higher-risk decisions. Adverse media at depth, political and regulatory exposure, ultimate beneficial ownership analysis, and sanctions and PEP screening through specialist databases and tooling.
Country Risk Assessments
Political, security, regulatory, and operational risk analysis for a specific jurisdiction and a specific decision. Scoped to the client’s investment, market entry, contract, or operation, not sold as a generic country brief.
Crypto Asset Analysis
Tracing and analysis of crypto holdings and transaction flows, used to support due diligence, disputes, and asset tracing for recovery. Sourced through blockchain analytics providers and interpreted by specialists.
How we work
Regional depth, not global thinness
Our focus is Southern Africa and the wider region. Analysts are engaged from a vetted regional network for the jurisdiction and subject at hand, in markets where the public record is often only partly online. Regional context is not something we assemble for each engagement, it is where we operate.
Scoped for the decision
Every engagement begins with a scoping conversation. We build the report around the decision it is meant to inform, not around a template. Where a shorter enquiry is enough, we say so.
Sourcing that holds up
Every material finding is attributed to its source. If a report is later challenged by a counterparty, a regulator, or a court, the sourcing behind it will stand up.
Direct access, throughout
Clients deal with the person running the engagement, not an account manager. Scoping, mid-engagement questions, and the final walk-through all happen with the same point of contact.
Who we work with
Nouvera works with organisations whose decisions depend on information that must be right and defensible: what a counterparty is really doing, who ultimately owns a company, what the record says about an individual, and what could go wrong in a jurisdiction they do not yet know well.
We work with investment firms, venture capital and private equity funds, insurers, mining and logistics companies, online gambling operators, financial institutions, law firms, and professional services firms. In practice, if a decision turns on knowing something a public search will not reliably tell you, and the cost of being wrong is material, we can help.
Our focus is South Africa and the wider region, on behalf of clients operating in it or expanding from it.
