When landmark corporate events demand a formal documentary due diligence process it can be complicated, time-consuming and disruptive. TMF Group’s document retrieval and delivery service is fast, thorough and consistent, covering the public registries in more than 80 jurisdictions.

How can document retrieval help my business?

In many jurisdictions a major corporate event – a merger or acquisition, a new business relationship, changes to funding arrangements – will trigger a formal due diligence process. The company must confirm its eligibility to conduct business locally by submitting certain official documents such as:

• Certificates of good standing, incumbency, compliance and disclosure
• Articles of association
• Information from local registers
• Proof of formation
• Compliance status checks on the entities involved

Registered office address requirements and substance compliance
