Research a Business Partner
Review a company's ownership, leadership, operating history, business relationships, and potential risk indicators before entering or expanding a commercial relationship.
Public-Source Corporate Intelligence & Risk Research
Before you commit to a business relationship, investment, or acquisition—know the company you're dealing with.
Beaty Corporate Intelligence researches companies to identify ownership, leadership, operations, business relationships, financial indicators, and legal, regulatory, or reputational issues that could affect your decision.
The result is focused, source-supported analysis designed to help clients make better-informed business decisions.
Services
Research for Critical Business Decisions
Beaty Corporate Intelligence conducts focused, clearly scoped public-source research when an important decision depends on understanding another company.
Assess a Vendor or Critical Supplier
Examine a supplier's background, corporate structure, operations, financial and operational indicators, regulatory history, and other issues that could affect reliability or continuity.
Research a Potential Investment or Acquisition
Develop an independent public-source view of a company before committing capital or advancing a transaction. Findings may identify issues that deserve closer financial, legal, or operational review.
Understand Ownership, Leadership & Relationships
Examine executives, board members, subsidiaries, affiliates, ownership interests, and significant business relationships.
Identify Legal, Regulatory & Reputational Issues
Review litigation, regulatory actions, compliance matters, sanctions-related concerns, adverse reporting, and relevant government records.
Examine Financial & Operational Indicators
Identify public information that may point to financial pressure, operational dependencies, customer or contract concentration, business disruption, or other conditions relevant to the client's decision.
Before You Make the Decision
What do we actually know about this company—and what might we be missing?
Important information about a company is often scattered across corporate records, regulatory filings, court records, financial disclosures, government databases, company materials, and news reporting.
Beaty Corporate Intelligence brings relevant information together, evaluates it in context, and identifies findings that may affect the decision under consideration.
Where the public record is incomplete or uncertain, those limitations are identified rather than filled with unsupported conclusions.

About
Beaty Corporate Intelligence is an independent research practice focused on public-source corporate intelligence, due diligence, and business-risk research.
The practice is led by Alan Beaty, MBA, a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel whose background includes military intelligence, international affairs, federal program management, and business and financial analysis.
During a 25-year Air Force career, he served in intelligence and international-affairs roles and later continued his work with the Department of the Air Force as a federal civilian. His experience included evaluating complex programs, major contracts, financial considerations, political and operational factors, and risk.
That background informs the firm's approach today: define the business question, identify relevant information, evaluate evidence from multiple sources, and clearly distinguish documented facts from analytical judgment.
Research Principles
How the work is approached
Source-Based
Research is grounded in identifiable public sources and documented evidence.
Independent
Findings reflect the available evidence rather than a predetermined conclusion.
Clearly Scoped
Each project is structured around a defined business question and agreed research scope.
Decision-Focused
Research emphasizes information relevant to the client's decision rather than the volume of information collected.
