Provenance Diligence
Log in Check a business
A red light trail on an elevated road at dusk

A task that fits
no tier at all.

Send us any request about the business you are looking at. We read it for free and answer: we take it or we do not. If we do, we name the price and the term before you pay.

Reading your task is free. A refusal is free and fast.

Describe the task

The price appears before payment, not after

The price and the term are named before payment. Direct costs go at the supplier's invoice, and the invoice is attached.

How it works

Five steps. At each of them you can see what comes next.

  1. You write us a letter: the country and the town, which business it is about, what you need to learn or to obtain.
  2. We read the task for free and check whether it is possible in your country.
  3. We answer: we take it or we do not. If we do not, we say so at once and explain why.
  4. If we take it, we name the price and the term before payment. The price has two parts: our work and the direct costs.
  5. You pay, we do the work and send you the result. Suppliers' invoices are attached.

A request that fits no tier

This route has no price — and cannot have one. Until we have read your task, nobody knows what exactly has to be done or whether it is possible in your country. Any figure named before that would be invented. You describe the task, we answer whether we take it. If we do, we name the price and the term before you pay.

What people come with

  • A certified document instead of a note: an official extract with an electronic signature. Such a paper stands before third parties.
  • Photographs of the place and its surroundings on a given date.
  • A visit on the ground: the state of the premises and the equipment, the flow of people, the hours actually kept.
  • A check on specific equipment by serial numbers and vehicle numbers.
  • Watching over time: how the price, the listing, the reviews and the hours change.
  • A country we do not cover yet. The first order in a new country takes longer; we name the term before you pay.
  • A trade with unusual permits — where the licence is harder than the ordinary one.
  • Several objects from the same seller at once, if you suspect he is not selling his own business.

What we will not do for any money

  • We will not contact the seller — on no pretext and in nobody's name.
  • We will not represent you in the deal and will sign nothing for you.
  • We will not give a legal or tax opinion and will not name a fair price.
  • We will not take on what requires powers we do not have.
  • We will not take on what is closed to everyone in that country. If the answer exists for nobody, we say so at once, not after payment.

How the price is worked out. From two parts, and both are visible: our work and the direct costs — register fees, payment to a local contractor, paid extracts. Direct costs go at the supplier's invoice, and the invoice is attached. Nothing is hidden inside one sum.

Describe the task Reading your task is free. A refusal is free and fast.

Write three things: the country and the town; which business it is about; what you need to learn or to obtain. If there is a link to the listing, attach it.
