BUSINESS AFFILIATION SCREENING

See the Conflicts of Interest Before They Become a Problem

Directorship and business ownership history — mapping a candidate's footprint across companies, not just the role in front of you.

Why Business Affiliation Screening

A candidate's LinkedIn shows one job. Their actual business footprint — directorships, ownership stakes, side businesses — can reveal conflicts of interest that never come up in an interview.

People Diligence checks company registries to surface this footprint, so conflicts of interest or undisclosed business relationships are visible before they become a problem, not after.

What's Included

Directorship History

current and past company directorships

Business Ownership History

ownership stakes across entities

Registry Cross-Referencing

checked against company registries for undisclosed affiliations

Why People Diligence

Global providers know the world. Regional players know one market. People Diligence was built to know both — pairing international reach with the local compliance depth that catches what a generic check misses.

110+ on-the-ground partners across 22+ countries mean every check is verified locally, under local regulatory requirements — not run through a subcontractor with no real specialization in that market.

Compliance & Data Protection

Every report is produced under strict confidentiality, with candidate consent, and in line with applicable data-protection, AML, KYC, and regulatory obligations in each jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most of the time it won't surface anything unusual — but for senior roles, roles with vendor-selection authority, or roles adjacent to competitors, undisclosed business ties are exactly the kind of risk this check is built to catch.
Yes, through our partner network — coverage depends on the transparency and digitization of each country's company registry, which your account team can confirm for the relevant jurisdiction.
