ABOUT UIC
There are things that can only be confirmed
by placing someone on the ground.
In cross-border transactions, overseas investments, and international business relationships, there is a category of risk that documents and databases simply cannot capture. A company may be registered but not operational. A declared background may not match reality. A situation that appears clean on paper may already be deteriorating behind the scenes.
UIC Associates Limited is headquartered in Taiwan, with an operational network spanning 190 countries. We serve law firms, PE funds, M&A advisors, and corporate compliance teams that require reliable, field-based intelligence — in markets where others cannot reach.

CASE STUDIES
What On-Ground Verification Has Revealed
INTERNAL RISK
Overseas subsidiary with clean accounts — discrepancy confirmed on the ground
Books appeared consistent. Field verification revealed a material divergence between reported figures and actual fund movements.
PRE-TRANSACTION
Counterparty appeared legitimate — no operational activity confirmed at registered address
Documentation was in order. On-ground visit to the registered address found no evidence of active business operations.
SUBJECT LOCATION
Contact lost with counterparty — operational status confirmed through field investigation
Communication ceased without explanation. Field investigation confirmed the entity had suspended operations, enabling a clear resolution strategy.
BACKGROUND CHECK
Executive background verified — credentials found to be materially misrepresented
A senior appointment was pending. Field-based background screening identified significant discrepancies between stated and actual career history.
ASSET TRACING
Debtor claimed insolvency — undisclosed assets identified through field investigation
Subject represented themselves as unable to pay. On-ground asset investigation identified undisclosed property holdings and associated entities.
M&A DUE DILIGENCE
Acquisition target presented strong financials — key relationships found to be undisclosed
Pre-acquisition field intelligence identified undisclosed related-party relationships and reputational issues not reflected in the financial documentation.
We can engage from the stage
where you are still uncertain.
You may have information but no clear conclusion. You may sense something is wrong but lack confirmation. We help you structure the situation and determine whether, how, and where field verification is warranted.
