Investors and portfolio companies
Investors need two different things from Iraq: a visit that answers the question, and a portfolio company whose operations can be seen from outside.
Before an investment, the requirement is a visit programme that meets the right counterparties and verifies what they claim. After an investment, it is monthly visibility into how the asset actually operates.
We do both: the visit and the verification first, and the operational reporting layer afterwards.
Operational challenges in Iraq
- Assessment visits that meet whoever is available rather than whoever matters
- Counterparties whose ownership and standing are hard to verify
- Portfolio companies whose operations are invisible between board meetings
- Procurement and spend at portfolio level that cannot be benchmarked
- Executive travel that has to be discreet and reliable
- Operational governance that has to satisfy an investment committee

Where this touches legal work. Legal due diligence, transaction documentation, regulatory approvals and any dispute sit with Salt & Associates, engaged separately. Our verification is operational and commercial, not legal.
Common questions
Do you carry out due diligence?
We carry out operational and commercial verification: registration, ownership where appropriate, due diligence checks, references and site visits. Legal due diligence is a separate matter for counsel.
Can you report on a portfolio company's operations?
Yes, through an operations desk at the company: monthly requests, deadlines, procurement, spend and open actions, in one document your investment committee can read.
