AsiaVerify - real-time business verification for seamless APAC transactions

If you have ever tried to chase an unpaid invoice across borders, you know the feeling. We have clients in Asia who do not pay, and for them, it is not even a scandal. It is just how things work.

Fintech of my choice: AsiaVerify

AsiaVerify is a RegTech intelligence platform that verifies businesses across the Asia-Pacific in real time. They cover more than 447 million companies across 14 jurisdictions, which is exactly the kind of boring, painful problem that becomes very expensive when you ignore it.

When you sell software, you want to believe that contracts and invoices are universal. Then you meet a counterparty you cannot properly identify, you cannot easily check ownership, and you do not even know which registry matters in that country. Due diligence turns into a mess of PDFs, translators, local consultants, and weeks of waiting.

AsiaVerify’s bet is simple. If more companies are “looking east” for growth, then trusted APAC company data becomes infrastructure. Not a nice-to-have. A requirement for onboarding, compliance, and even basic credit decisions.

They recently raised growth capital from Foresight Group to scale sales, marketing, and customer success, while pushing the product forward. The CEO, Leas Bachatene, points to a clear tailwind: regulators are tightening transparency requirements, and businesses need accurate, structured data that is ready to plug into their workflows.

I also like the business logic here. The value is measurable. One avoided a bad counterparty can pay for the tool for a long time. And the moat is not a fancy dashboard. It is speed, coverage across 14 jurisdictions, and delivering the data at low cost, which is exactly what Foresight’s Salim Chantler seems to appreciate.

I would happily use something like AsiaVerify as the first step before we sign anything new in APAC. Less guessing. Fewer “learning experiences”. More time spent building a product.

What is the hardest part of your due diligence today: identifying the real entity, understanding ownership, or actually enforcing the contract after things go wrong?
