  • Due Diligence Services

    Due Diligence Services conducts appropriate and targeted individual and corporate background checks to help provide critical insight into the reputation and historical activities of executive and board hires, mergers and acquisitions  targets, distributors, vendors and joint venture partners.

    Depending on the client’s needs, Aon can deliver two levels of background checks:

    • Level 1 Reports: High-level research on the individual or entity with 10 years of searches using web-based searches, public/commercial records, and open sources.
    • Level 2 Reports: Enhanced research on professional and financial backgrounds with 20 years of searches using all Level 1 sources plus on-site searches for records.

    Due Diligence Services also conducts Asset Searches, which identify assets for collections or litigation purposes.
