Establishment of relations with new companies is a mandatory condition of any business development. Collaboration with new partners can open new growth vistas for the company but can also result in its financial losses or destroy its reputation. Sometimes the new partner or counteragent, on the long-term collaboration with which expectations are placed, proves to be just a swindler trying to enrich himself at somebody else’s expense. Any firm, people owning or managing business, have their own background, which is not always trotted out, but which will be difficult to conceal from professionals. Full exclusion of the risks when interacting with new and even with already known counteragents is, certainly, impossible, but it is better to try minimizing the risks beforehand making it incumbent on a firm specializing in solving matters of such kind to check reliability of your business partners and counteragents.
