Welcome to the Research Desk (RD).

The RD is a global research desk where you can ask for assistance when investigating companies or individuals. We know that access to company data such as shareholders or management board is sometimes difficult or costly to get. We also know that tracking down business interest of individuals across the globe requires access to sometimes costly databases as well as the knowledge to navigate these repositories of data. This is where the RD comes in: we are willing to assist you in finding information. Our researchers have access to an array of national and international databases and will assist you the best they can. Even offshore companies can sometimes be tracked down.

However, we advise you to first try use the Worldwide Company Data section on your own and only contact our researchers if you hit a wall in your research. Mind that the RD is going to provide you with documents if your request is very clear.

In some cases, especially if the data is not online, we’ll have to contact journalists on the ground or lawyers who can provide the data so this can be a lengthy process.

Please register, tell us who you are and what information you need and we’ll do our best to help. The RD is still in a trial period so please bear with us. The Investigative Dashboard is a collaborative effort and we are growing together :)
