Corporate Investigations & Business Intelligence

RMI provides discreet, professional Corporate Investigations and Business Intelligence services to organisations that need accurate, independent, and actionable information to support informed decision-making. We help clients establish the facts, assess potential exposure, and understand the risks and opportunities associated with complex or sensitive situations.

Our experienced investigators, researchers, and intelligence analysts conduct enquiries with a strong focus on discretion, accuracy, and professional integrity, while carefully considering applicable legal, regulatory, data protection, privacy, and reputational requirements.

RMI has developed an established international network of experienced investigators, researchers and specialist associates, enabling us to undertake enquiries across Europe, North America and other international jurisdictions. This global capability allows us to combine central oversight and analytical expertise with trusted local knowledge and resources where required.

Our international reach supports a broad range of complex and cross-border assignments, including:

• Due Diligence & Background Research – Assessing individuals, organisations, business partners and other relevant parties to identify potential risks, undisclosed relationships, reputational concerns and other material information.
• Asset Tracing & Recovery – Conducting discreet enquiries to identify and trace assets, ownership interests and financial or corporate connections in support of recovery strategies and legal proceedings.
• Fraud & Theft Investigations – Investigating suspected fraud, theft, misconduct and other irregular activity to establish facts, identify vulnerabilities and support appropriate action.
• Confidential Enquiries – Undertaking sensitive and discreet enquiries where clients require independent verification, clarification of circumstances, or additional insight before making important decisions.
• Litigation Support – Providing investigative and intelligence support to legal teams and professional advisers, helping establish relevant facts, identify information sources and develop a clearer understanding of complex matters.

RMI’s Media Intelligence service provides ongoing monitoring, research and analysis of social media, online news and other legally accessible open-source information. Our objective is to identify emerging issues, developing narratives and indicators that could have operational, reputational, commercial or security implications for our clients.

Our monitoring capabilities can include:

• Tracking protest, activist and campaign groups and identifying developing activity or areas of concern.
• Monitoring emerging campaigns, issues and narratives that may impact an organisation, brand, sector or senior leadership.
• Assessing changes in public sentiment and identifying trends that may influence reputation, stakeholder confidence or business operations.
• Identifying emerging security, reputational and operational risks through the analysis of relevant online activity and open-source information.
• Providing early warning of developing issues that may require management attention or a coordinated response.

Our analysts bring together information from multiple sources, assess emerging trends and indicators, and provide clients with clear, timely and actionable intelligence rather than simply reporting information.

Working closely with senior management, legal teams, risk professionals and other trusted advisers, RMI provides the insight required to establish the facts, understand potential exposure, anticipate emerging issues and make confident, well-informed decisions.
