Our services.
Every engagement starts from your situation. Underneath sits the same foundation: the Definirs methodology, a structured way of assessing and building Business Integrity across your organisation’s eco-system including investors and investees. From strategy, to infrastructure, daily performance and transparency.
Our support is shaped around your organisation, its context and ecosystem, up to investors and investees.
What are you trying to achieve?
Start with your objective. Explore when support can help and what we do in practice.
What this means for you
Prepare for institutional scrutiny with clear governance, effective controls and evidence of how they work in practice. Address gaps early so your team can respond confidently during due diligence.
Typical triggers
An upcoming fundraise, an investor due diligence questionnaire, or findings from a previous assessment.
What we do
Assess & Build
- Assess governance, integrity risks and controls against investor expectations.
- Prioritise gaps and develop a practical readiness plan.
- Implement the policies, processes and reporting needed.
- Help prepare evidence and respond to due diligence questions.
What this means for you
Embed Business Integrity into governance, decision-making and daily operations—so the organisation stays standing when growth, change or hard questions arrive. Proportionate to your size and stage, and owned by your team.
Typical triggers
Conditions precedent from closing, an ESAP with deadlines attached, or growth that has outpaced structure.
What we do
Build
- Design governance structures and clear responsibilities.
- Carry out integrity risk assessments (SIRA).
- Develop proportionate policies and the day-to-day processes that make them work.
- Build alongside your team, so ownership stays with you.
What this means for you
Bring portfolio companies to the standard their next investors will hold them to: better governed, more mature, and ready for the next round’s due diligence, a strategic investor or an IPO.
Typical triggers
A portfolio that has grown faster than its oversight, post-investment conditions to deliver on, or a mandate to raise standards across investees.
What we do
Extend
- Assess the Business Integrity maturity of portfolio companies.
- Support integrity onboarding and ongoing monitoring.
- Run structured programmes to raise standards across investees.
- Give DFIs and investors insight into the maturity of the funds and institutions they finance.
What this means for you
Understand what supervisors expect before you arrive, and build what they need to see—led by people who have sat on the supervisor’s side of the table.
Typical triggers
A licence application, expansion into a new jurisdiction, or a first engagement with a regulator.
What we do
Market Entry
- Map supervisory expectations in the new or regulated market.
- Prepare licence applications.
- Build the governance and compliance framework a supervisor expects to see.
What this means for you
Clarity on complex integrity questions, confidence in your next steps, and an independent perspective when it matters. We help you weigh your options and make informed decisions. We provide written and substantiated advice—where possible with concrete tools to act.
Typical triggers
A strategic decision you want tested, a question raised by your board or investors, an integrity matter requiring a second opinion, or a framework you want independently reviewed.
What we do
Consultancy
- Independently review your governance or integrity framework.
- Provide a second opinion on specific cases, decisions or findings.
- Advise boards and management on strategic integrity questions.
- Serve in an advisory capacity to your Integrity Committee (IC).
What this means for you
Hands-on support embedded in your team: senior expertise when and where you need it, without the permanent overhead.
Typical triggers
A capacity gap, a peak in KYC or remediation work, or specialist depth your team does not need permanently.
What we do
Co-sourcing
- Execute KYC and CDD work alongside your team.
- Provide compliance advisory on day-to-day questions.
- Bridge a gap while you hire.
Three principles for engagement.
Proportionality
We create what fits your size, stage and risk profile. You should never pay for components you do not need.
Builders, not auditors
Recommendations are a starting point, not a deliverable. We design, implement and embed—until it works in practice, not just on paper.
Built for lasting ownership
We develop capability and establish clear ownership within your organisation. Our support evolves with your needs—from implementation and training to ongoing advice or dedicated roles—so the framework continues to work in practice.
The first step is a conversation.
We are interested to learn and listen where your organisation stands, and will respond honestly to whether—and how—we can help.
