A practical checklist for due diligence using public records

Public records can help teams start a supplier, partner, or investment review. They do not replace legal, financial, or compliance advice. The useful part is a repeatable process that records what was checked, when, and from which source.

A five-step baseline

1. Confirm the entity identifier and current status.
2. Record the source and retrieval date for every material data point.
3. Separate facts from interpretation.
4. Escalate inconsistencies rather than attempting to explain them away.
5. Re-check time-sensitive data before a material decision.

A good due-diligence workflow is intentionally modest: it makes missing evidence visible and enables a human reviewer to decide what should happen next.

DataCheck's public guide to due diligence and business information is one starting point for Israeli entities. Its company-trends dashboard also documents the provenance and update context behind its public charts.
