Screen Business Partners Before You Do Business
Want to screen business partners before you take on a major order or ship a first delivery? For SMEs this is not a legal AML obligation, but it is simply good business practice. A quick check prevents you from contracting with a company that falls under a sanction, hides a questionable UBO or has been in the news for the wrong reasons.
KYC-Checks helps Dutch and European SMEs run that check in a low-threshold and affordable way. You do not have to buy a full AML file: you only pick the topics that are relevant to your situation.

Bank-Ready Reports
Prevent risk in your trade relationships
Some situations call for extra diligence before you sign. A few recognisable examples:
Three topics: choose what you need
Company Structure and PEP Check (from €29)
Who is behind this company? The Company Structure and PEP Check gives you insight into the legal structure, the directors and, optionally, the ultimate beneficial owners with PEP screening. Useful when you are considering a new supplier and want to know exactly who you are dealing with.
Sanctions and Country Risk Screening (from €49)
Are you even allowed to trade with this party? Our Sanctions and Country Risk Screening tests the target company, its directors and its trade countries against every relevant sanctions list. Indispensable when you export to countries with an elevated risk profile.
Adverse Media (Bad Press) Check (from €49)
What comes up if you really start looking? An Adverse Media Check maps negative news, incidents and reputational risks systematically. Useful for joint ventures, larger investments or strategic partnerships.
Considering a new supplier from Italy
The price is sharp, but you do not know the company. For €39 the Structure International Check shows you who the directors are, which subsidiaries exist and whether any parent companies are active in other countries. This way you avoid signing with a shell entity that has a problematic owner behind it.
Exporting to a sanctioned region
Sanctions regulations around regions like Russia change rapidly. With the Sanctions Basic check (€49) you test your counterparty against current EU, OFAC, UN and UK lists. This is especially important when you ship dual-use goods that may be diverted to an unintended end use. Consequently, you avoid accidentally shipping a prohibited delivery and the financial penalty that follows.
An unexpected payment route on an invoice
A counterparty asks you to remit payment to a bank account in a country that is unrelated to the trade. This is a classic warning sign described in our article on the hidden dangers of third-party payments in international trade. A quick sanctions and structure check on the parties involved is often enough to confirm whether the request is legitimate.
