We undertake many checks and some are only permitable with permission of the subject but the majority are achieved without any permission needed and in certain countries we can go further than others as per local laws.

We do undertake database verifications and searches but we do NOT rely on them and we certainly do not offer them as a solution or guarantee of any person or situation as they are only as accurate as the day, however, could have been entered onto that database many months ago.

We have a truly global presence. We run many checks for different reasons and for different parties’ including potential son in laws, business transactions, business acquisitions and fathers concerned over the new stepfathers to the children and many more scenarios.

We can take a look at life beyond the scenario confirming or denying identities and crucially giving peace of mind or heartbreaking news to our clients with the use of high-tech psychological profiling, background investigations and a covert presence on the ground of the chosen country.

We set ourselves apart from the competition due to our: Investigator led background, meaning no stone unturned and not just data reliant.

Accurate reports delivered in leading turnaround times.

Different packages and tailor made solutions.

Legal compliance and expertise.

Overseas experience in many different countries as well as dozens of employed field agents across the UK. Surveillance team able to verify the very current details available.

Business records analysed Business visits organised Local and national reputations Mystery shopping/visits records Trading styles and verification Directors investigated Company registrations External and internal discipline matters Competitor intelligence Photographic or video verification Assets verified Press and media reports Property and assigned business premises Bespoke arrangements can be made on cost which are heavily dependent on permission or non permission, the amount of checks and visits required, inspections and audits if required and any mystery shopping.

Due Diligence We believe global research capabilities are essential when clients are contemplating major new financial or business relationships.

Our Clients assign us to conduct domestic and international due diligence investigations of potential acquisitions, joint business venture partners, vendors, suppliers, competitors, subcontractors, or even Investors and candidates to be hired in executive or other sensitive positions. Our experience in due diligence enquires, both here in the UK and internationally, provide us with an acute awareness of particular issues to look for as we gather information.

Our clients require us to triple check the credentials and reputation, investigate the background and track record of companies and their management in which an investment or business deal is contemplated. Also to assign us to verify and confirm the accuracy of counterparties’ representations as to their assets, operations and capabilities and to ‘red flag’ potential discrepancies

Internationally Internationally we have undertaken hundreds of due diligence and international investigations. We work differently in most countries and do not have the same resources we normally take for granted in the UK, USA and Western Europe. We may, for instance, have more need for a “man on the ground” and often our research will involve more “labour hours” in the more exotic countries and are normally in a foreign language, therefore our enquiries are more up-to-date and tailored as that is the language they have conducted their business in.

Translation will be incorporated in the price for these enquiries.

All the information will be undertaken by at least one Agent in the said country of interest and would be double checked for accuracies. We also offer a guarantee for our work and ask you to verify the information yourself within 30 days.

International checks Generally we are able to run the professional and basic versions in most countries and in some we are able to offer more security by providing additional enquiries such as: Database information gleaned Criminal record history (country permitting) Covert visits with photographic evidence Identity issues investigated Civil court cases and credit history Full property ownership searchable by name Driving history records (country permitting) Family and association checks Date of birth and SSN verification Costs are purely based on the area of the world we are working in and the amount of checks required by the client.
