Private Investigator
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
for
Your Family Business?
As a family business owner, have you ever considered calling a private investigator? Probably not, but maybe you should. Almost every family business will at some time be faced with a situation where they need to retain their services. They can play a proactive role in controlling losses and protecting assets.
Wide range of services
Most investigators work for corporate security firms that offer a wide range of services including executive protection, blackmail, kidnapping, false insurance claims, white collar theft, fraud, child custody and protection, missing persons and asset recovery.
Security firms often are used to conduct database searches and background checks that provide useful information about an individual including prior arrests, convictions and civil legal judgments. They are also capable of doing physical and electronic surveillance.
Family-owned businesses are more complex and require high levels of confidentiality. Investigators working for family businesses have to understand family business dynamics. These family business investigation specialists are retained by family businesses to conduct a wide range of services including internal and external investigations, background checks, uncovering drug use in the work place, employee theft of merchandise, equipment (and other types of company assets) through fraudulent accounting practices and key managers/employees who are selling confidential information, otherwise known as industrial espionage.
