What is Vendor Risk Management?

Vendor risk management is the process of evaluating potential vendors in a number of different ways. You will need to know if a vendor is financially sound, but that’s far from the only goal of risk management for vendors.

Our professional, licensed investigators will find out if there are past or current legal issues, both criminal and civil, that could affect the stability of the vendor relationship.  Reputational risks must also be examined, from negative news to customer complaints.  There might also be problems associated with past contract agreements or professional licensing. Don’t leave it to chance - make sure your business interests are protected. Contact us today or read on to find out more about our services.

Why Investigate
Potential Vendors

Vendors play a big role in your business, and are often critical to your ability to provide goods or services.  Give these important relationships the best chance of success by making sure you know the history of potential vendors.

Ignoring vendor risk management, or supplier risk management, can be costly in more ways than one.  Suppliers who don’t have the expertise or capacity they claim can hurt your ability to do business.  If they have not fulfilled previous contracts or have been involved in civil lawsuits, your relationship could be at risk of turning sour. When your business partners don’t live up to expectations, your personal and business reputation and finances can suffer.

Find out if there are known risks before you sign the deal.  Find out how to get started now, or read on for more information.
