Experts in business intelligence in the Middle East

Cedar Rose International Services started life in 1997 as the enterprise of Antoun Massaad, specialising in supplying credit reports on Arab companies. The name “Cedar Rose” is taken from the national emblems of Lebanon and England.

The company was originally located in England. In 2004 new offices were opened in Lebanon. Moving the company to the Middle East proved to be a good strategy, and the company began to expand rapidly.

Due to the security situation in Lebanon in 2007, the company relocated again back to Europe - to Cyprus, on the doorstep of the Middle East.
