Reasons a Business Might Hire a Private Investigator

At Lobb Investigations, we provide services to a range of clientele. One type of clientele we have been of regular benefit to are businesses. If you own a business and are not sure why a PI would be beneficial to work with, here are some reasons.

Tracking Fraud

As a business owner, no doubt you try your best to choose trustworthy people to work with, but there will still be times when people try to take advantage of you. If you have evidence that an employee or business partner has engaged in fraudulent activity or you suspect that they have, a private investigator can locate the evidence of this and locate the guilty individual as well.

Background Checks

Again, you aim to work with trustworthy individuals, but how can you know that someone is going to be of value to your business? A background check is a great place to start. Before you hire someone, having a private investigator perform a background check on the person will help protect you from sketchy hires. A background check will help uncover criminal pasts and ensure that the person's ethics compliment your company’s.

Dealing with Disputes

If you are in a dispute with another person or business, a private investigator can help you find the evidence you need to win. For example, a private investigator can help uncover where the business sources materials from or if they have insurance.

Due Diligence

Even if you are not involved in a dispute and you are not suspicious of anyone, businesses can always benefit from due diligence. Due diligence is just a basic background check that you can have performed to help you determine the legitimacy of potential business partners, clients, and employees. Regardless of the size of your business, all corporations benefit from covering their bases.
