Where does Business Radar retrieve its corporate linkage data?
We connect to the Offshore Leaks database—covering more than 810,000 offshore companies, foundations, and trusts (including data from the Pandora, Paradise, Bahamas, Panama Papers, and other investigations). This gives you local entity information on your clients of interest.

How are entities tracked during registration?
When you register an entity, it is “tracked” immediately. In addition, our system runs a historic search (covering billions of records and using all known trade names and translations) to provide a comprehensive screening from both current and archived data.

Can I export the compliance screening results?
Yes. You can export a complete audit trail—including false positive management outcomes and results refined by our AI integration—to share with your team.

Can custom entities be added for screening?
Absolutely. You can add any name you choose to a company’s compliance screening list. A screening is then performed on that name regardless of its direct association with the company.

How does Business Radar handle UBO and indirect ownership?
Our system includes indirect and implied indirect ownership within corporate structures. This ensures you get a complete picture of a company’s ownership—even in multi‑layered setups.

What are the data sources for compliance checks (sanction lists, UBO data, country risk)?
We partner with best‑in‑class vendors for sanction lists and UBO data. Our country risk score is based on the Corruption Perceptions Index from Transparency International.

Which sources are used for Compliance monitoring?
We aggregate data from a range of sanction lists across regions:

  • Americas: OFAC, SSI, sanctions against Venezuela/Cuba, Panama’s National Sanctions List, and other Caribbean sources.

  • APAC: Lists from Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice, Australia, Japan’s Ministry of Finance, China, Indonesia, and South Korea.

  • Europe: EU sanctions (including country‑specific lists like OFSI UK, France, Netherlands) plus other national sources.

  • International & MEA: UN sanctions, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and key lists from the Middle East and Africa.
