The Bao Lyon Group, LLCMarket research & investigations

Successful businesses have extensive knowledge of their customers and their competitors. Market research is the process of gathering information which will allow you to be aware of how people will react to your products and services when you are ready to market them.

Whether you realize it or not, as a business owner, you conduct market research all the time. When you talk to customers about your business or check out the prices of your competitors, you are doing market research. Formalizing the process can produce a wealth of information about your products and services, your customers and the marketplace you operate.

Regardless of the size of your market research budget, the time you have available or your level of experience, some form of market research is recommended to improve your business decisions. The Bao Lyon Group, LLC can help you with that project. Consult us for details.

Corporate and commercial assets search

Business asset searches (domestic or international), are conducted to support judgment enforcement, commercial debt collection, contract disputes, litigation and due diligence. Our professional contractors* work closely with law firms, law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, companies, public agencies and investors throughout the U.S. and internationally.

The most common areas of investigation in a commercial asset search include the following:

Business Bank Accounts.
Domestic and Foreign investments, money transfers and hidden assets.
Company Benefit, Retirement and Profit-Sharing Plans.
Real Estate, Vehicles and Financed Equipment.
Identification of Principals, Parent Company, Subsidiaries and Affiliates.
Corporate Credit Profile (Credit history, Bankruptcies, Liens, UCC filings, Judgments and Financing).
Securities Filings.
Fraudulent Transfers.

For small and midsize companies, our professionals* will typically review the personal financial status of company principals. This information can be particularly relevant for family businesses and single-member limited liability companies.

Determining the specific scope and budget of a business asset search requires a case-by-case assessment. Is the company large or small?, public or private? Is it a legitimate operating entity or a corporate shell? We discuss these questions with our clients before each investigation and prepare a retainer agreement outlining the estimated costs and timeframe for the examination (s).

For large corporations and multinational firms, additional asset classes can be explored, including intangible assets such as service contracts, licensing agreements, patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Complex corporate investigations may also require examination of joint ventures, foreign subsidiaries, and off-balance-sheet appearances. Contact our offices for more details.
