For Bond Counsel

"To the best of our knowledge"
isn't good enough.

Independently verified participant identities, account ownership, and fund flows — so your opinions rest on evidence, not representations.

The Problem
You're certifying a process you don't control.
Participant identities accepted at face value. Account details arriving as email attachments. Every "based on representations provided" qualifier is a reminder of what you couldn't independently confirm.
The Basefund Approach
Third-party verification replaces client representations.
Identities confirmed against authoritative sources. Accounts checked independently. Every result sealed in a cryptographic record — turning qualifiers into verified fact.

Capabilities

Replace qualifiers with verified facts.

01
Verified facts, not representations
Identities and accounts confirmed through independent checks — not issuer-provided spreadsheets. Your opinion references evidence, not faith.
02
Tamper-evident audit trail
Cryptographically sealed chain of custody. If your opinion is challenged, the evidence is permanent, unalterable, and auditable.
03
Reduced professional risk
When your opinion relies on independently verified facts rather than client representations, your professional exposure narrows. Transaction insurance provides additional protection.
04
Faster due diligence
Due diligence that starts from verified facts — not a blank slate of client-provided documents.
05
Closing confidence
Complete verification package in hand before closing — participant confirmations, account checks, and a sealed record of each step. No assumptions under deadline pressure.
06
Client differentiation
Offer issuer and underwriter clients something most firms cannot: opinions grounded in verified, insured facts. Fewer qualifiers. Stronger letters.

Strong opinions start with strong facts.
