- Intelligence platform used by global businesses performing regulatory compliance checks and risk assessment on Asian entities
- Provides data and insights into more than 447 million entities across 14 Asian jurisdictions
- Foresight’s growth investment will allow the Company to scale operations and develop new product offerings
Foresight Group (“Foresight”) is pleased to announce a growth capital investment into AsiaVerify Limited (“AsiaVerify” or the “Company”).
AsiaVerify is an intelligence RegTech platform founded in 2019 that draws on official sources across 14 Asian jurisdictions, providing users with real-time insights into 447 million companies, including ownership structures, ownership, risk indicators and compliance status - all through a single interface.
As global supply chains, investment flows, and corporate partnerships continue to deepen across Asia, organisations are facing growing pressure to understand who they do business with and how risk evolves over time. Increasing regulatory scrutiny around ownership transparency, sanctions, and ongoing monitoring has exposed significant gaps in traditional data sources. These dynamics are driving strong and sustained demand for trusted, compliant, and real-time Asian corporate intelligence to support better risk management and decision-making.
With investment, new hires will be made in sales, marketing and customer success, building on an impressive growth trajectory that has so far been achieved with limited sales resource. AsiaVerify will also continue to invest in product development, which will help global customers to find and access new suppliers.
Commenting on the investment, Leas Bachatene, CEO of AsiaVerify, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Foresight as we embark on the next phase of our journey. This investment underscores the confidence in our vision and technology, and will enable us to accelerate innovation, expand our reach, and deliver even greater value to our customers.”
Salim Chantler, Senior Investment Manager at Foresight, added: “Regulators increasingly require more stringent business verification, which in the Asia Pacific region can be particularly difficult to complete. By providing high quality data without lengthy lead times and high costs, AsiaVerify have disrupted the existing market. Foresight's investment is about investing in additional sales resource while continuing to improve the product functionality. We look forward to partnering with the AsiaVerify team to drive continued growth and success.”
