Sanctions exposure
Ownership and control tests matter as much as name matching on high-value trades.
Industries · UAE & GCC
Energy, marine & industrialhigh-value contracts, verified counterparties.
Energy, shipping and industrial contracts in the Gulf are large, cross-border and sanctions-sensitive. We verify the counterparty and the ownership behind it before exposure is taken.
Oilfield services, bunkering and shipping operators, commodity traders and manufacturers across the UAE and GCC deal with counterparties whose ownership can cross several jurisdictions and whose sanctions exposure changes quickly.
We provide enhanced due diligence, ownership mapping and continuous screening alongside credit assessment and licensed recovery, so a single contract does not create a compliance and cash problem at the same time.
