Open & Candid Intelligence
We have built up hundreds of millions rows of data, including data that relates to National & Local Government Contract Awards, Government Spend, Charity Income & Expenditure, Political Donations, Land Ownership, Court Cases and much more.
We can provide incredible intelligence in many sectors. Through one of our partner sites we also hold arguably the largest external database of information about companies ran by members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (Exclusive Brethren).

Mergers & Acquisitions
We were approached by the CEO of a large corporation based in Germany. They were well established in their sector, with markets across the majority of Europe and a turnover of almost £1 billion per year. They were looking for a foothold in the UK and were in the due diligence stage of acquiring a UK based competitor.
Their key objective was to find out if there were any areas of concern in the business activities of the company they were looking to buy. They had been recommended to speak to Open & Candid because of our intelligence around the kind of company they were looking to purchase.
Due to the NDA in place they were unable to share some information. We were still able to react quickly and produced an intelligence report, which we presented to the CEO and his board within 72 hours from the initial contact.
We were able to highlight two significant areas of concern, which would have an impact of the valuation of the company and also on the potential turnover in the future.
