Risk and disruption aren’t part of the deal.
Know more about your third parties, or you may get more than you bargained for.
Your business is set to a well-timed choreography of supplies and services. One missed beat — a vendor that suddenly ceases shipments, or a compliance snag — can seriously impact your company’s productivity, financials and even reputation.
Spotting the “red flags” in a large, complicated global supply chain, e.g., requires more than free tools and manual processes. You need broader, deeper, more reliable business intelligence on your third parties, and better efficiency in managing them.
You have high standards for your third parties. Do your tools and processes measure up?
Even your most trusted business partner may potentially bring baggage into your relationship. Financial chaos. Legal problems. Business dealings that compromise your company’s integrity. Free tools and one-time vetting isn’t enough to shield you from these dynamic events. LexisNexis® Risk Solutions has the robust data sources and technology to bring critical information to the surface over the lifetime of the relationship.
Step 1: Identify
With global e-commerce, you can’t always be sure who you’re working with. LexisNexis® Business InstantID® and LexisNexis® Find a Business make it easy to quickly:
- Verify the identity of the business, the owner and authorized representative;
- Confirm accuracy of information and uncover additional contacts;
- Evaluate inconsistencies that may indicate high-risk activity;

Step 2: Assess
What you don't know about your trading partners can jeopardize your operations, brand and regulatory standing.
