A factory that is profitable on Tuesday can be unworkable by Friday if a government falls, a border closes or a local partner suddenly finds themselves on the wrong side of a sanctions list. Headlines tell you that the world is volatile. What decision-makers need is to understand what that volatility means for their people, their assets and their plans.
Intelligence for a decision, not a newsletter
Generic risk ratings rarely answer the question in front of you. Valkyrie produces analysis tailored to a specific decision: entering a new market, acquiring a business abroad, sending staff to a region, or a family relocating or buying property overseas. We look at the political and security environment, the stability of institutions, crime and corruption risk, and the reputational exposure of the people you would be dealing with.
Where the research comes from
Our analysis draws on open source intelligence, specialist reporting and discreet enquiries, assessed by analysts with operational security experience. We are clear about how confident we are in each judgement, so you know where the solid ground ends and the uncertainty begins.
Before, during and after
Some clients need a single assessment before a decision. Others want ongoing monitoring of a country or situation, with early warning when conditions change. Where a situation deteriorates, our crisis response team can support contingency planning and response.
Connected to the people
Political risk is often personal. If the concern is a counterparty rather than a country, our due diligence investigations look at who you would really be doing business with. For staff and family travelling, see our physical and personal security services and threat briefings.
