Need faster background checks on Lebanese companies?
The International Company Profile (ICP) helps U.S. companies evaluate potential business partners. The report includes factual data as well as the embassy's evaluation to help U.S. firms assess risk, reliability, and capability. The ICP analyzes the overall strength of the Lebanese 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
Price and Turnaround Time
The cost of this service is $600 for the small to medium
companies and $900 for large companies.
The report is delivered within 15 working days.
