Counterparty review before a major equipment contract
HEIMDALL identified hidden affiliation, repeated litigation and asset-transfer indicators before the agreement was signed.
Situation
The client was preparing to sign a large equipment supply contract. On the surface, the supplier looked operational: website, commercial proposal, clear terms and active communication.
Risk signals
the supplier director was linked to a former owner of a distressed company
the wider group had repeated litigation history
assets were being moved to related legal entities
contact traces overlapped with companies from the same network
Result
The client paused signing, requested additional guarantees and refused advance payment before enhanced review was completed.
