Business Investigations

Businesses that devote the resources to obtaining superior information will obtain superior results.  Whether you are seeking intelligence on a potential client, a possible vendor that will be integral to your supply chain, or a competitor that is pursuing a key customer, having more information in your possession will aid in producing a better outcome.

Before entering into a new business relationship, ask yourself whether the following factors would affect your decision:

  • The potential client or customer you are considering has a history of collection actions, tax liens, or is in bankruptcy;
  • A potential vendor you are considering in a critical supply-chain role has been sued multiple times for failing to deliver as promised;
  • The business consultant you are about to hire has a criminal history.

Obtaining critical information after you have become embroiled in a lawsuit or lost an important client is too late.

Why should you perform business investigations?

Companies should perform a business background investigation when entering into a new relationship with another company that will form an important part of your operations.  Most companies would not consider hiring a new employee without performing a background investigation.  Yet a new business relationship can present as much or even more risk.  The common types of business investigation needs include:

  • Key vendor relationships
  • Prospective client reviews
  • Competitive research and intelligence
  • Mergers & acquisition due diligence
