Research
The Private investigator’s time is spent conducting background and research for clients. Research is conducted for businesses to determine the background and reputation of a possible partner before entering into a financial relationship; when hiring new executives; or when investing time and money in a new venture. In civil litigation and criminal defense preparation, research can be conducted on persons involved in the litigation, or when a background investigation of difficult to find witnesses is necessary. Private investigators are called on to research and find hidden assets such as property, bank accounts, and investments.
