Business Background Investigations

In a broad manner a business can be compared to an individual. It has a past, a tradition and it mingles with many others each day. Like some people, what you see may not represent what the business is really all about. As private detectives, we have investigated many corporations for clients who are interested in taking over a company, considering a merger, are involved in a law suit with that company or are questioning who they may be hiring.

Knowledge is the crucial factor in staying ahead of the competition. Contrary to popular belief, what you don't know can hurt you. Many businesses have latent debts and shady past or illicit behavior that few others than a private investigator can uncover.
