A local business owner found what he thought was an excellent candidate for his office manager position. The office manager has direct access to incoming cash and deposits, and based on the candidate's sterling resume, the owner was convinced that she was the right person for the job. At that point he hired us to investigate and clarify the damage he believed stemmed from this candidate's business practices in her position as office manager. Too little too late! When we investigated her background we found eleven outstanding warrants in another state for fraud. We're not in the fortune telling business, but it's safe to say that if our client had done his due diligence and hired us to conduct a pre-employment background check... he probably wouldn't have hired this candidate. Sometime later we received notice that the business owner had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, finding that the losses were too great to recover from.

Now more than ever, business owners scrutinize every expenditure. You cannot afford to think of professional pre-employment investigations as luxuries. They are necessities. We have worked on cases where conducting a background investigation would have saved companies $300,000 to $400,000 in addition to the immeasurable costs of lost customer confidence.  

Our background investigations are very detailed and are designed to uncover the most basic details of someone's life. We give you the information you need to make fundamental business decisions about who to trust in your entry-level, mid-level and senior-level positions.  

One of our clients is a prominent local law firm who represents both local and out-of-town clients. While considering investing in a business in another state, our client developed concerns about the validity of the business venture and the sources of the capital contributions by the other principals. Our mission: find out how much money the other principals had access to and verify their business credentials. Our initial investigation identified only traces of limited funds in the United States. However, we know enough to dig deep, and we have the tools to do it. Using our international contacts and resources, we were able to determine that the future partners indeed had substantial resources in overseas holdings and had acceptable experience in the business in question. Result: our client is reportedly engaged in a successful enterprise.
