🔍 Meet Titus van Heur Strategic Due Diligence Specialist & Founder of Second Opinion Check

After more than 30 years in banking, structured finance, and cross-border risk management, I’ve come to learn one truth:

The biggest risks rarely live in the documents. They hide behind the people who sign them.

That insight led me to launch Second Opinion Check, a high-trust verification platform for private investors, business owners, and advisors who don’t want to rely on paper alone. We don’t just read contracts we investigate the credibility, background, affiliations, and real-world risk behind the parties involved.

What we do

At Second Opinion Check, we specialize in fast, discreet, and targeted due diligence on:

• Individuals (directors, advisors, intermediaries)

• Companies (ownership, affiliations, hidden control)

• Investment proposals, contracts, and guarantees

Clients come to us when a deal feels “off” but the paperwork looks fine. Our reports are delivered in 48 – 72 hours and include a clear green/yellow/red verdict with actionable insight. No fluff, no legalese, just decision-ready intelligence.

Why It Matters

In high-stakes investments, background checks often stop at compliance. But not all reputational or legal risk shows up in public registers or Google. Our job is to dig deeper into litigation history, failed ventures, toxic affiliations, and reputational blind spots.

Whether you’re reviewing a €250K startup investment or a €5M asset deal, one misjudged counterparty can cost more than any legal clause can protect.

 

Background

I spent over a decade at ING as Director of Risk Management for their international clearing & custody operations, followed by a position as CEO of a CSSF-regulated investment fund in Luxembourg. Since 2012, I’ve operated independently through Risk Services, advising family offices, fund managers, and founders and dealt with complex financial products.

With Second Opinion Check, I now combine this background into a global due diligence service trusted by clients in Europe, Asia, and the Gulf.
