Corporate intelligence, due diligence and risk advisory for businesses operating across the UAE and wider Gulf. We verify counterparties before the contract is signed.
Gulf Sentinel Intelligence provides the verified information businesses need before making commercial decisions.
We investigate counterparties, screen partners and suppliers, and assess the risks that sit beneath the surface of a transaction. Our work spans corporate due diligence, KYC and KYB screening, background investigation and ongoing risk monitoring.
Every engagement is delivered to the evidentiary standard your compliance team, board or regulator expects. We operate from Dubai, with reach across the GCC and the wider region.
What do you need to know before you proceed?
Before you invest, acquire, partner or extend credit, you need to know the entity is what it claims to be. We verify registration and licensing, map ownership to ultimate beneficial owner, confirm trading history, and identify litigation, insolvency and regulatory exposure.
Meet your compliance obligations without slowing the business down. We screen individuals and entities against sanctions lists, politically exposed person databases, watchlists and adverse media — documented to a standard that satisfies audit and regulatory review.
Understanding a market, a counterparty or an exposure before you commit capital to it. We assess country and sector risk, evaluate reputational and integrity exposure, investigate specific concerns, and advise on the controls that bring risk to an acceptable level.
Risk is not static. A counterparty that cleared screening last year may not clear it today. We monitor your clients, suppliers and partners for changes in sanctions status, ownership, litigation and adverse media — and alert you when something moves.
Our analysts work UAE and GCC corporate registries, regional court records and international sanctions and media sources — with the local knowledge to read what the records actually mean.
