Who We Are

Background Italia was founded in 1972 in Milan and boasts over 50 years of experience in investigations and business intelligence. Over the years, we have developed and consolidated an extensive global network that allows us to conduct intelligence activities worldwide.

Expertise and tools derived from different cultures and legal systems enable us to approach each case with a 360° view.

We are the strategic partner for leading investment funds in M&A transactions, for law firms in the context of litigation and internal investigations, and for multinational companies in the areas of compliance, KYC (Know Your Customer), and third-party due diligence.

Our goal is to support our clients throughout all stages of interaction with a potential partner: in the preliminary phase, to assess reputation and reliability; during the relationship, should issues or disputes arise; and at the end of a relationship, for potential debt recovery activities or litigation support.
