HOW WE SUPPORT Lenders

When it comes to lending, we understand the importance of risk evaluation, maintaining client relationships while working through the process of financial exchange and, when needed, debt recovery. We can support you in all of these areas, through due diligence, independent business reviews, tracing, process serving and more. Our bespoke services are tailored to your specific needs, with expert advice to help you resolve any problems and ensure a smooth process of lending.

What area can we support you with?

People & Asset Tracing

Trace debtors

When debtors become unresponsive, there are 2 key pieces of information you need to know: where to find them and if they can pay. You can rely on ESA Risk to discover this information for you quickly, discreetly and in a cost-effective manner. Once a debtor has been found, we can work with you to determine and put in place the best course of follow-up action to recover the debt while maintaining a positive relationship with the subject.

We’re here to help you with dispute resolution and to support with litigation, if it comes to that.

Cyber Security

Secure data

We understand that dealing with high-value data and sensitive financial information makes lenders especially attractive targets for cyber criminals.

Our consultants can work with you and your clients to assess existing cyber security and to identify and implement improvements.
