Business Investigations | Corporate Due Diligence
Business background investigations, which may be part of Corporate Due Diligence efforts are conducted for attorneys, businesses and individuals for a variety of reasons. Competitor analysis investigations conducted by business background investigators may involve looking into a company’s sources of revenue and identifying supply chain vendors and customers. Other situations involve company mergers or acquisitions. Before establishing a business relationship, one or both companies may want to know more about the others financial health, or have other concerns and may seek out the experience of business background investigators. Not all corporate investigations involve the relationship between businesses. In an attempt to separate themselves from other job applicants and make a good impression a job applicant may want to prepare for an interview by educating themselves about the company’s background. Showing interest in the perspective employer by demonstrating knowledge of the company, such as its history and plans to expand in the future could make the difference between getting the job or not.

- How long the company has been in business
- Subsidiaries of the company
- Corporate affiliations

- Business credit history
- Professional licenses
