The problem: The hidden subsidiary

A target company isn't just one entity; it is a messy web of holding companies, subsidiaries, and SPVs. A standard VDR search bar sees "Acme Limited" as text. It doesn't know that "Acme Limited" is a sanctioned entity or has a pending lawsuit.

The Colabra workflow

1

Entity extraction

Colabra reads the definitions and headers of every document to extract the proper legal names of all parties.

2

Ownership graph

We visualize the relationships. "Acme Holdco owns Acme UK, which owns the IP."

3

Live screening

We hit external databases (Sanctions, PEP, Adverse Media, Litigation) for every extracted entity.

4

The clean bill of health

You get a report confirming that the entities you are buying—and the vendors they rely on—are clean, or a red flag if a Russian subsidiary appears in the chain.
