Cedar Rose celebrates its milestone 25th anniversary today reflecting
on many pioneering achievements during its storied past. Beginning its journey in 1997, it has
come a long way from being a company providing credit reports and due diligence
investigations to a service provider offering end to end risk, verification and
compliance solutions that enable companies to accelerate their customer
onboarding, swiftly and with ease while staying assured they are protecting
their company from non-compliance, financial and reputational losses.
“25 years ago, we
had a vision of excellence,” said Antoun Massaad, Co-Founder and CEO of Cedar
Rose.” From day one, our aim has been to ‘Strive for Excellence’. It is not a
marketing slogan. It is an operational reality. This approach has enabled us to
maintain successful relationships for more than two decades with our clients
who return again and again, working with Cedar Rose as a long-term partner. Our
25th anniversary is an opportunity to reflect how far we have come and what
lies ahead.”
Since its
foundation, Cedar Rose has been delivering high quality credit risk reporting
and analysis, business intelligence and investigative due diligence on
companies and individuals in over 230 countries globally.
Looking back at
the company’s accomplishments, Antoun reflected, “We initially grew as
specialists in the Middle East and North Africa, building the world’s largest
database in that region. Now, we’ve grown to be a global player, offering
information on over 242 million companies worldwide. Our core belief
is simple: by facilitating trust we can help our clients create valuable
opportunities and sustainable long-term business relationships. With solid and
reliable information on business partners, transactions are made safer and more
secure so that a company is best placed to continue its business growth.”
Over the years, Cedar Rose has been recognised with several prestigious
awards and accreditations including Credit Excellence Award for Export and
International Credit and Collections for three consecutive years – 2016, 2017
& 2020; European Business Award – 2017 / 2018; and Commercial Credit
Information Provider of the Year Award sponsored by Experian – 2019.
Thanking his
team, clients and associates, Antoun said, “From the beginning, the source of
Cedar Rose’s innovation, purpose and growth have been our team members,
customers, and associates. On this occasion I would like to thank each one of
them for their dedication, trust, and support. We wouldn’t be where we are
without them.”
Moving forward,
Cedar Rose expects its strong growth to continue. Antoun said, “Applying new
technologies, our aim is to stay ahead of the needs and expectations of our
clients who are at the center of our business. Cedar Rose’s state-of-the-art
AI-powered process and technology captures, edits and presents information so
that reports are accurate, up-to-date, and delivered fast. Our data-driven

others on the market, with services now including company credit reports, full
