What to check before a transaction

Before signing a contract it is worth establishing who manages the legal entity, who its shareholders and beneficial owners are, whether there are significant court cases, and whether the property it declares matches the risk of the transaction.

Tvarka Due diligence is not positioned as a credit rating. It collects primary sources: data from the Centre of Registers (Registrų centras), court cases, and Real Property Register information.

Attorney services and legitimate interest

When other people are being checked, Tvarka shows that a legal services agreement is required. This matters, because such a check has to have a clear purpose and a legitimate interest behind it.

The check is confidential. A counterparty should not be disturbed merely because you are assessing risk before a transaction.

This is not individual legal or tax advice. Before deciding on a specific transaction, tax situation or dispute, assess your own circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

Does the counterparty find out about the check?

Tvarka states that the check is confidential and anonymous, and that the service is provided by attorneys.

How is this different from a credit rating?

A credit rating is a summarised number. Due diligence collects primary sources so that you can assess the risk yourself.

Is this individual legal advice?

No. This is not individual legal or tax advice. A specific transaction may need an assessment by an attorney.
