Corporate Linkage & UBO Mapping

Uncover control. Ensure transparency. Strengthen compliance.

Corporate Linkage & UBO Mapping from Cedar Rose reveals who truly controls an organisation, exposing risks that are often hidden behind multi-layered ownership structures. In today’s global landscape, companies may be connected through offshore entities, nested shareholders, nominee arrangements, or opaque cross-border networks that conceal links to sanctioned actors, PEPs, financially unstable groups, or entities with reputational concerns. These hidden relationships can undermine compliance programmes, distort risk assessments, and create exposure during onboarding, procurement, investment, and strategic engagements. Cedar Rose combines authoritative records, multilingual human research, and advanced linkage analysis to deliver complete ownership visibility. By uncovering indirect control, identifying beneficial owners, and mapping influence networks, we provide the intelligence needed to ensure regulatory alignment, support investigations, accelerate due diligence, and strengthen governance frameworks across high-risk and multi-jurisdictional environments.

Transparency in Complex Markets Where It Matters Most

For more than 25 years, Cedar Rose has specialised in unravelling complex ownership structures across the Middle East, Africa, and frontier markets — regions where public records are fragmented, limited, or difficult to access. Our in-language analysts, direct registry access, and on-the-ground data networks ensure that every ownership chain is traced with precision. We uncover controlling interests, family affiliations, cross-border links, and indirect influence that automated tools alone cannot detect. Our reporting supports AML, KYC, anti-bribery, and ESG requirements while providing defensible evidence for audits, advisory work, procurement decisions, and high-value transactions. When transparency is limited, clarity becomes your strongest compliance asset.

What’s Included in Our Corporate Linkage & UBO Mapping

 

UBO Identification

Trace ownership back to the individuals or entities who ultimately hold control. We identify beneficial owners meeting jurisdiction-specific thresholds and uncover indirect chains that reveal hidden influence within multi-layered or offshore structures.

Cross-Border Ownership Mapping

connections, holding-company layers, offshore intermediaries, and indirect controlling parties. Designed to simplify structures that impact regulatory reviews or strategic decisions.

Control Relationship Analysis

Identify influence beyond direct shareholding, including voting rights, managerial authority, contractual arrangements, and relationships involving family members or affiliates. Clarifies where true decision-making power sits within an entity.

Risk Flagging

Detect associations with sanctioned individuals, politically exposed persons, and entities with negative reputational histories. Highlight potential compliance, regulatory, or ethical risks across ownership chains and affiliated structures.

Documented Evidence

Where available, provide official registry extracts, filings, and legal documents to strengthen compliance, audit readiness, and regulatory submissions. Ensures transparency and supports verification with defensible documentation.

How It Works in Real Environments

Don’t Let Unreliable Data Derail Your Growth!

Incomplete unreliable data and limited risk visibility don't just slow your company down; they actively sabotage its growth. Without comprehensive standardised, reliable quality data, you expose your business to unnecessary risks which complicate your ability to analyse the market landscape, and develop effective strategies.

Worse yet, compliance missteps, especially in new markets, can lead to costly fines that stifle your growth and tarnish your reputation. All this is also compounded by slow, manual processes that leave you scrambling to keep up, ultimately costing you deals, partnerships, and valuable time. 

The thing is, high growth often means high-risk exposure, and the only way to navigate risk is through data. When harnessed correctly, data serves as your north star, guiding you through the maze of growth.
