Corporate Due Diligence
Intelligence-grade corporate due diligence for executives, investors, and legal counsel in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City.
Intelligence-Grade Corporate Due Diligence
Corporate due diligence is one of the most consequential — and most frequently underestimated — investigative disciplines in the private sector. Most regional PI firms lack the analytical depth, multilingual capability, and federal-grade methodology to conduct due diligence at the level that high-stakes business decisions demand. UACPI was built to fill that gap.
Led by a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent with experience in counterintelligence, public corruption, and international investigations, our team brings a law-enforcement investigative framework to corporate research. We don't rely solely on database aggregators. We conduct active research, source development, and open-source intelligence analysis to build a complete picture of the individuals and entities you're evaluating.
Our corporate due diligence services are used by executives, investors, legal counsel, and boards of directors who need verified intelligence before entering a partnership, completing an acquisition, or extending a significant financial relationship. We investigate the full spectrum of risk — financial, reputational, legal, and operational.
Typical engagements include executive background vetting, investment partner screening, vendor and supplier risk assessments, acquisition target research, and business partner investigations. Each engagement is scoped to your specific risk profile and delivered as a structured investigative report with supporting documentation.
Los Angeles and Orange County are among the most active markets for corporate due diligence in the western United States. The concentration of private equity, venture capital, entertainment industry transactions, real estate investment, and international business activity in the LA metro and Orange County corridor creates constant demand for intelligence-grade due diligence that goes beyond what standard background check services provide. UACPI works with investment firms, family offices, entertainment companies, and legal counsel throughout Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Century City, Irvine, Newport Beach, and the surrounding region.
San Diego's technology sector, defense industry, and biotech ecosystem generate significant due diligence demand — particularly for companies evaluating foreign partnerships, government contractors vetting subcontractors, and investors assessing early-stage companies with complex ownership structures. UACPI's federal counterintelligence background gives us particular depth in evaluating foreign national involvement and cross-border business relationships.
Phoenix and the broader Arizona market have seen substantial growth in corporate activity, real estate investment, and technology sector expansion. UACPI serves Arizona-based executives, investors, and legal counsel with the same federal-grade due diligence methodology we apply in California — with the added advantage of dual-state licensure and familiarity with Arizona's business and legal environment.
UACPI operates across California, Arizona, Utah, and beyond, with the capability to support domestic and international due diligence matters. All work is conducted discreetly, in compliance with applicable law, and with strict confidentiality. Contact us to discuss your due diligence needs and receive a scoped engagement proposal.

What does a corporate due diligence investigation typically include?
A UACPI corporate due diligence engagement typically covers entity history and ownership structure, officer and director background research, litigation and regulatory history, financial indicators, reputational intelligence, and OSINT analysis. For international matters, we also assess foreign national involvement, cross-border relationships, and country-specific risk factors. Each engagement is scoped to your specific risk profile and business context.
How is your due diligence different from what a law firm or accounting firm provides?
Law firms and accounting firms conduct legal and financial due diligence — reviewing contracts, financials, and compliance records. UACPI conducts investigative due diligence: active research into the people and entities behind a transaction, including reputational intelligence, undisclosed relationships, litigation history, and behavioral patterns that don't appear in financial statements. The two are complementary, and many of our clients engage us alongside their legal and financial advisors.
Do you conduct due diligence on international business partners?
Yes. Our multilingual team has experience conducting due diligence on foreign nationals and international entities, with particular expertise in matters involving foreign business environments and cross-border investigations. We work with Los Angeles and Orange County clients who have significant international business activity, as well as San Diego companies evaluating cross-border partnerships.
How long does a corporate due diligence engagement take?
Timeline depends on the scope and complexity of the engagement. A focused executive background investigation can be completed in 3–5 business days. A comprehensive acquisition due diligence engagement covering multiple principals and entities may take 2–4 weeks. We work with your transaction timeline and can discuss expedited options for time-sensitive deals.
Can you conduct due diligence on a confidential basis without alerting the subject?
Yes. All UACPI due diligence engagements are conducted discreetly using legally permissible open-source and public record research methods. We do not contact the subject or their associates without your explicit authorization. Confidentiality is a core operating principle — we understand that the value of pre-transaction intelligence depends entirely on the subject not knowing they are being investigated.
