About Ex Ante
Ex Ante is a Paris business-intelligence practice specialising in mergers and acquisitions due diligence, strategic monitoring, business intelligence and fraud prevention. It presents itself as an independent, wholly French practice founded fifteen years ago by Nicolas Boutinot, a recognised business-intelligence expert.
Its due diligence practice applies to partnerships, recruitment and investments: the practice explains that it helps manage due diligence by checking the reliability and compliance of stakeholders, and that its assignments also include partner assessment and fraud detection. It works for businesses of all sizes, from small and medium-sized firms to large groups, in sectors such as finance, industry, technology, health, energy and services.
Each assignment combines open-source information gathering, field investigations, data analysis and legal expertise, with rigorous cross-checking of sources. Based in Paris, the practice works across France and internationally, under a stated commitment to absolute confidentiality.
