# Solander Partners > An independent cross-border research house. Company research and due diligence between Europe and Asia, conducted in confidence. Solander Partners provides primary-source company research, market intelligence, and reputational due diligence for principals making cross-border commitments between European capital and Asian markets. The firm reaches out to clients directly; its credibility rests on the quality of its work and strict client confidentiality. Every finding is sourced and confidence-flagged — the prepared ground a principal acts on, not a memo. Solander sells research and intelligence, not advice. ## Practice - **Market & Company Research**: deep groundwork on a target, a sector, a counterpart — where the real opening is, and where it only looks like one. - **Due Diligence**: who a counterparty really is — the record, the ownership, and the risks that do not show on the surface. - **Discretion**: what a client shares, and what Solander finds for them, stays between the firm and the principal. ## Approach How the work is done: (1) **Source directly** — the primary record and the local ground, in the local language: filings, registries, the trade, how a name is spoken about in its own city; not a search box or a syndicated database. (2) **Verify on the ground** — every material fact checked against a second source, with documented separated from merely reported and each marked on the page. (3) **Stand behind it** — named companies and decision-makers, each finding sourced and confidence-flagged; what can't be stood behind is left out. ## Independence Solander works for one principal at a time, takes no finder's fees, sells no introductions, and holds no side of what it looks into. The finding is the only thing sold — which is the only way it is worth having. Solander sells research, intelligence and due-diligence findings — the groundwork a principal acts on, and nothing it holds a stake in. ## Perspective *Notes from the crossing — what you can't read, you can't price.* The facts that decide a cross-border commitment rarely sit where a European principal looks for them: they sit in the local-language press, in vernacular court and registry filings, in the trade record, in how a name is spoken about in its own city — none of it in the English-language monitoring that shapes the view from a distance. The view from Europe is therefore off in two directions at once: the opportunity that reads as clean, and the risk that never survives translation. Reading the ground in its own language, before the capital crosses it, is the whole of what Solander does. ## Markets Between European capital and Asian ground — the crossing where local knowledge is scarce and matters most. ## Specimens Cross-border client mandates are sanitised (identities removed); the public-event sample is shared in full. - [Asia market-entry — sanitised brief (PDF)](https://solanderpartners.com/specimens/solander-brief-asia-market-entry.pdf) - [European market-expansion — sanitised brief (PDF)](https://solanderpartners.com/specimens/solander-brief-european-expansion.pdf) - [FIFA World Cup 2026, Seattle — event intelligence snapshot, public sample (PDF)](https://solanderpartners.com/specimens/solander-seattle-worldcup-2026.pdf) ## Contact - Email: office@solanderpartners.com - Web: https://solanderpartners.com/
