Need Faster background checks on Egyptian Partners? The International Company Profile (ICP) helps U.S. companies evaluate potential business partners. The report includes factual data as well as the post's evaluation to help U.S. firms assess risk, reliability, and capability. The ICP analyzes the overall strength of an Egyptian company and provides useful information collected from our industry contacts, local publications/press, and other sources. An ICP provides:

• A detailed background report on a prospective sales representative or partner
• A listing of the company's senior management
• Main business activities and product/service lines
• Banking and financial information (An ICP is not a credit report and, therefore may not contain the detailed financial information that is obtainable from mercantile credit agencies. However, reliable basic financial information is included in the report)
• Insight on whether the prospective partner can meet your needs - trading experience, market coverage, stature, business connections in the country
• Opinion as to the strength of the company versus its competitors
