Assett Investigation

What is asset checking?

Having an asset check performed could prevent you from unwittingly setting yourself up for ruin.

If you are owed money, don't think that you can get your money back by going to court? Millions of uncollectible judgments show the truth: if someone does not have the collectable assets, a costly court case will bring you nothing - except a big legal bill. Before wasting your time and money on a court case and before you do any business, an asset investigation can tell you what you absolutely must know about a person or business.

How does an asset investigation work?

Depending on why you need an asset check, an investigation can include a basic background check, surveillance work, a computer investigation, financial or business background check. Asset investigations work by uncovering exactly what sorts of collectible assets someone owns. Whether you are investigating a business or individual, an asset investigator can determine how likely you are to get money in a court case. An asset investigation will also tell you how secure someone's assets are - before you trust a company or individual with your business.

Only an asset investigation conducted by a qualified private investigator can find out whether a business or person is using a fictitious business name, is using fraud, is hiding assets, or has multiple judgments or a track record of fraud against them. Knowing this can not only help you in court, but can also give you the information and facts that you need to do everyday business.

Do I need an asset investigation?

Here are a few questions to help you answer that question: Are you employed? Do you own a business? Do you do any business with any companies or people? An asset check can let you know what a person's or company's assets are like. This can tell you what their financial status is. If you work for a company or doing business with someone, it is crucial to know the state of their assets. This is simply the only way you know whether someone is financially trustworthy or not.

    Are you owed money? If yes, an asset check or asset investigation can tell you whether there's any point in going to court to get your money back. If someone has claimed that they cannot pay you, an asset investigation can tell you whether this is the case. If you want to go to small claims court or a collection agency, an asset investigation can tell you how many collectible assets of person or business has and where you stand in relation to other creditors who may be suing the same debtor.

    Are you the victim of fraud? If someone is not paying you because they claim they do not have the money, an asset check can quickly reveal whether they are being honest. An asset investigation can give you the proof you need to show that someone has assets that they are simply not declaring.

The truth is, we all do business with companies and with people. If we don't understand the state of someone's assets, we have no way of knowing whether we are being defrauded or not. Only an asset investigation by a qualified private investigator will tell you what you need to know about a business partner's financial state or about a debtor's real financial status. An asset investigation can save you thousands of dollars in legal fees and can give you the evidence you need to confront a debtor or company.
