Where did they come from? Why are they here? What is their history? Are they hiding something? Are they who they claim to be? These are common and crucial questions in any investigation. Background research is a standard component of all types of investigations and serves as an essential preliminary tool to determine subsequent goals and approaches.
Unlike other firms that offer generic, “one-size-fits-all” background research packages, Investigation Network customizes its approach. We avoid offering basic reports that can limit the quality and quantity of available information. These reports often break down simple preliminary information into incremental units, costing clients far more in the long run. By offering background research as part of a comprehensive package, we ensure that investigations are accurate, up-to-date, and relevant. The goal is for our clients to make well-informed decisions based on the most current information.

It’s important to note that the cost and format of employment background checks are typically similar to those conducted for landlords when screening potential tenants.

National database checks often provide the leads necessary for deeper investigations. However, contrary to the claims made by some competitors, no single national database can provide a complete civil, criminal, financial, or employment background on a subject.
Many aspects of background research still require traditional investigative methods, which may include:
When conducting international background checks, investigations can be broad or tailored to focus on specific areas, such as:
By conducting comprehensive background checks on a national or international level, clients can make well-informed decisions in matters involving:
