Intelligence that moves at the speed of your deal.

We produce the kind of deep-background intelligence that large institutions take for granted — made accessible for smaller teams closing deals in the $5M–$25M range.

01
Executive Risk Assessment

Background investigation, litigation history, regulatory records, and reputation analysis for key executives and owners.

$1,500 – $3,000 per executive
02
Acquisition Intelligence Report

Comprehensive diligence across executive, legal, reputational, regulatory, and operational dimensions. Delivered as a decision-ready report.

$3,000 – $10,000 per transaction
03
Portfolio Monitoring

Ongoing surveillance of executives, suppliers, and portfolio companies. Alerts on litigation, regulatory actions, and leadership changes.

$500 – $2,000 / month

From submission to report in 48–72 hours.

01
You submit the target

Company name, website, key executives, and any available deal materials. A scoping call is available if needed.

02
We run the research

Court records, regulatory databases, corporate filings, media analysis, and relationship mapping across verified sources.

03
Analyst review

Every report is reviewed by a human analyst. Findings are verified, interpreted, and cross-referenced — not just aggregated.

04
You receive the report

A structured PDF with risk ratings, red flags, relationship maps, and specific follow-up questions for management.

The underserved end of the market.

Large institutions have in-house intelligence teams. We give smaller investors the same capability — without the overhead.

Search Fund Operators

Small teams acquiring owner-operated businesses who need deep diligence on management without a full in-house capability.

Independent Sponsors

Deal-by-deal investors who need fast, credible intelligence to support LP conversations and close with confidence.

SBA Lenders

Banks and non-bank lenders who need borrower and guarantor background intelligence before credit approval.

Boutique M&A Advisors

Advisors who want to offer a premium diligence product to clients without building the intelligence capability themselves.

$1,500 – $3,000
Per executive.
Delivered in 24–48 hours.

A focused investigation into the background, litigation history, regulatory record, and public reputation of key executives and owners. Most buyers review financials carefully. Few look closely at the people behind the numbers — until it's too late.

  • Employment and corporate history verification
  • Federal and state civil litigation review
  • Bankruptcy filing search — personal and business
  • Regulatory and professional licensing record review

Per transaction. Priced by complexity.
Delivered in 3–5 business days.

Our flagship product. A 20–30 page structured report covering every dimension of pre-acquisition risk — built to support investment decisions, LP reporting, and management conversations. Priced based on company size, deal complexity, and number of executives reviewed.

Portfolio Monitoring
$500 – $2,000/mo
Per company monitored.
Month-to-month. No long-term contract.

  • Regulatory enforcement actions
  • Negative media coverage and reputational shifts

About

Intelligence without the
institutional overhead.

Capital Veritas was built for investors who need institutional-grade intelligence but don't have an institutional-size team.

"The risks that kill deals after close are almost never in the financials."

Capital Veritas is a boutique acquisition intelligence firm focused exclusively on the lower-middle-market — search funds, independent sponsors, SBA lenders, and boutique M&A advisors working in the $5M–$25M transaction range.

Firms like Kroll and Control Risks have served Fortune 500 clients and large private equity for decades. But the operators acquiring a $12M HVAC company or a regional logistics business have had no equivalent — until now.

We produce the same category of intelligence: executive background, litigation analysis, reputation assessment, regulatory review, and ownership mapping. Delivered at the speed and price point that smaller deals actually require.

Every report is reviewed by a human analyst. We don't deliver raw data. We deliver interpretation, judgment, and specific questions worth asking before you wire the money.

How we work.

01
Verifiable findings only

Every finding in our reports is sourced to a specific court record, regulatory database, or documented publication. We don't speculate. We don't amplify rumors. If we can't source it, it doesn't go in the report.

02
Identity anchoring

The most common failure in background intelligence is attributing findings to the wrong person. We anchor every executive search to confirmed identity before drawing any conclusions.

03
Judgment, not just data

Data retrieval is a commodity. Our analyst layer adds context, identifies patterns, and produces specific questions that give buyers leverage in management conversations.

Your deal details stay yours.

All client engagements are treated as strictly confidential. We do not disclose client identities, target company names, or report contents. We do not discuss one client's deal with another. We do not retain report contents beyond the delivery period without explicit written consent.

NDAs are available upon request and standard for all ongoing monitoring relationships.
