Registered Client Access
Fee schedules are provided after registration and scope review
Counterparty due diligence pricing is not published on the public website. AAL first reviews the proposed mandate, jurisdiction, entity structure, number of companies or principals, urgency and legal sensitivity before confirming the appropriate report category and indicative fee.
Registered clients may receive access to a private fee schedule after AAL has reviewed the enquiry and confirmed that the matter is suitable for corporate, transactional or commercial due diligence support.
How access works
1. Submit a scope enquiry. Use the contact form and select the relevant Counterparty Due Diligence report type.
2. AAL reviews suitability. AAL checks whether the request is commercial, lawful, proportionate and within the firm’s advisory boundaries.
3. Fee schedule access is provided privately. Once registered and accepted for scope discussion, the client may receive private access to indicative fees and payment instructions.
Important: Clients should not make payment until AAL has confirmed the agreed report scope and issued a matter reference.
Important Legal Boundary
AAL provides corporate intelligence and transaction-risk due diligence for commercial mandates only. AAL does not provide consumer reports, employment background checks, tenant screening, credit eligibility reports, insurance eligibility reports, housing eligibility reports, private investigation services, regulated legal advice or regulated investment advice. Director or principal coverage is undertaken only where relevant to a corporate, transactional or commercial risk assessment and subject to lawful-source, proportionality, confidentiality and engagement controls.
FAQ
Questions clients usually ask before ordering a report
Can AAL review a counterparty before we sign an MOU or commercial agreement?
Yes. An initial screen can identify obvious issues before a client invests time, money or reputation in a counterparty relationship.
Does AAL review individual directors or principals?
Yes, but only where the review is connected to corporate, transactional or commercial risk. AAL does not provide personal curiosity checks or consumer-purpose screening.
Can U.S. clients use these reports for employment, credit, tenant, insurance or personal eligibility decisions?
No. The service is not designed or offered for consumer-reporting, employment, credit, tenant, insurance, housing or personal eligibility purposes.
Will AAL guarantee that a counterparty is safe?
No. A due diligence report reduces uncertainty and highlights risk indicators. It does not guarantee outcomes or replace legal, accounting, compliance or regulated financial advice.
