Investigative Benefits for Businesses

Background Checks for Prospective Business Partners - A business owner hires a PI to determine the financial and criminal history of a prospective partner. If the investigator learns that the candidate has a history of financial and/or legal problems, he or she will alert the business owner.

Investment Checks

The investigator will determine whether a company is legitimate by checking their public records for licensing, bankruptcies, small claim judgments, state and federal tax liens, etc.

Experienced PIs can recommend security techniques and services to help businesses prevent theft and provide safety for their employees.
