Due Diligence for Family Offices & Private Client Advisers

Carratu International provides confidential due diligence for family offices and trusted advisers assessing advisers, opportunities and counterparties.

Enquiries address the ownership, reputation, wealth-history and credibility questions relevant to the brief. Findings are brought together in a concise assessment for the principal and their advisers.

Situations that may justify independent research

• New advisers, intermediaries or business introducers.
• Private investments and unfamiliar counterparties.
• Material claims about wealth, business history or professional standing.
• Individuals entering a position of trust or influence.
• Corporate structures or ownership that appear difficult to reconcile.
• Online impersonation, reputation or privacy concerns affecting a principal.

Source-of-wealth context

Where relevant, public and corporate information can help assess whether a stated wealth narrative is broadly consistent with known businesses, exits, investments or assets. This is contextual intelligence rather than a substitute for regulated source-of-wealth verification, financial advice or legal analysis.

Research relevant to the brief

Private-client research is deliberately scoped. Public availability does not make every piece of personal information relevant, and sensitive enquiries require a clear purpose. Carratu International limits research to what is necessary and proportionate to the client's legitimate decision.

International matters

Cross-border reports identify the jurisdictions and records examined, assess source quality and explain the confidence supported by the available evidence. Any further verification required is set out alongside the relevant finding.

Senior-led reporting

Outputs are concise, factual and designed for principals and advisers who need to understand material issues quickly. Where a concern cannot be resolved confidently, it is presented as an unresolved question rather than overstated.
