5. What is the difference between your information and Spark’s (from Interfax)?

The difference is relevance, completeness, quality and non-standard approach.

The relevance should be on the day of submitting the report, otherwise the information becomes useless. There were situations when we could learn about the change of CEO or founder a few days before applying to the tax office.

Completeness: while searching and analyzing, e.g. a company, it is necessary not to rely only on USRLE information and financial reports, but also to consider all nuances of its activities. For example, we had a case when, according to its balance, some brewing company had been working in loss for some time. But when we considered all the circumstances, we’ve found out that the company purchased expensive Italian machinery and retooled the entire production. If they included the expenses in primary costs, as it should be according to the rules of accounting records, they would have insanely expensive beer. But they had done smarter and started to sell beer at lower prices, so the payback period of this equipment has increased several times. But they can afford it, in other words, they are affected only positively.

Quality: information is crosschecked and confirmed by several data bases. We have an individual approach to each investigation.

Non-standard approach described in the example of the brewing company. That is non-standard approach that helped us to reveal information about purchasing of expensive Italian machinery. Information that is revealed by using unusual approach is the most valuable and important in business intelligence.

Finally, the most important thing, Spark is the source of primary information, and we offer a final analytical product.

6. How to determine which rate is needed for checking on a nature or a legal person?

7. Is it possible to appraise rating of a company and the expedience of cooperation using financial statements?

No, it is not possible, because in most cases accounting reports are disinformation prepared especially for the government. That is why they don’t reflect a real state of things nor in dynamics nor in statics. Accounting reports may be used in cases when all the affiliate legal persons, which are taking part in the organization of business, are revealed. Consolidated analysis of the accountancy of all this legal persons will show out the real state of things. But this work is very hard. Therefore, the balance doesn’t reflect overdue payments and the payments’ dynamics, litigation, non-performance or unsatisfactory performance of duties and many other things that may describe the company directly or in implied way.

8. Tell us about the query language used in WebInsight system

For more complicated requests you may apply a Boolean search request using next operators:

& - logical AND. For example, Smith & Jones. WebInsight will search for documents containing both “Smith” and “Jones”. You may also use + sign for this operator.

| - logical OR. For example, Smith | Jones. WebInsight will search for documents containing the word “Smith” or the word “Jones”.

~ - logical NOT. For example, Smith &~ Jones. WebInsight will search for documents containing the word “Smith” and at the same time not containing the word “Jones”. Take attention to the fact that ~ only excludes some documents from the search result. Such request as “~Jones” will reveal nothing.

() - a grouping operator for more complicated requests. For example, (Smith | Jones) & ~Clark.

" - an operator for selecting phrases (an exact search). For example, “John Smith” & “Peter Jones”. You may also use ‘ sign for this operator.

9. About a year ago I ordered you a business request, may I update the information and how much does it cost?

Yes, you may order an update; it will cost 50% of the rate you booked earlier.

10. I’d like to make a criminal background check on citizens of the following countries: the USA, Cuba, Turkey and Italy. Do you work with such orders and how much does it cost?

Yes, we do. We have a well-developed partnership network and it allows providing criminal background checks on citizens of any country! Costs and terms depend on the country and, as usual, are varying. That is why at first you should clarify costs and terms and to determine request conditions because each country has its own requirements on requests!
