Foresight Group, a leading investment manager focused on real assets and growth capital, has made a growth-stage investment in AsiaVerify Limited, a RegTech company specialising in business verification and corporate intelligence across Asia.
Founded in 2019, AsiaVerify operates an intelligence-driven platform that aggregates official data from 14 Asian jurisdictions, delivering real-time insights on more than 447 million companies through a single interface. The platform provides visibility into ownership structures, risk indicators and compliance status, helping organisations meet increasingly complex regulatory and due-diligence requirements.
As cross-border supply chains, investments and partnerships across Asia continue to expand, companies are under growing pressure to understand who they are doing business with and how risks evolve over time. Heightened regulatory scrutiny around ownership transparency, sanctions and ongoing monitoring has also exposed the limitations of traditional data sources, fuelling demand for trusted, compliant and real-time corporate intelligence in the region.
The new funding will support AsiaVerify’s next phase of growth. The company plans to strengthen its commercial capabilities with new hires across sales, marketing and customer success, building on strong momentum achieved to date with a lean sales operation. AsiaVerify will also continue investing in product development, enabling global customers to more easily identify and access new suppliers across Asian markets.
Commenting on the deal, AsiaVerify CEO Leas Bachatene said the partnership with Foresight marks a major milestone for the company, adding that the investment validates its vision and technology while accelerating innovation and market expansion.
Salim Chantler, Senior Investment Manager at Foresight, noted that business verification in the Asia-Pacific region remains particularly challenging as regulatory requirements tighten. He said AsiaVerify has disrupted the market by delivering high-quality data without the long lead times or high costs typically associated with regional due diligence, and that Foresight looks forward to supporting the company’s continued growth and product evolution.
