Making trusted, informed decisions is essential for any business to mitigate risk and maintain a competitive advantage. Whether onboarding employees, evaluating potential business partners, or conducting due diligence and internal investigations, proper protocols must be in place.

Withum’s Investigative and Corporate Intelligence Team helps national and international companies make informed decisions by conducting public record investigations of pertinent individuals and business entities. Comprehensive background and due diligence investigations provide valuable information about individuals and business entities that inform clients about potential liabilities that should serve as “red flags” relative to a variety of business decisions. Adverse information identified may include criminal history, financial instability, personal and professional misconduct, and other areas of risk.

Drawing on the knowledge of former FBI agents with decades of experience, our team can uncover the necessary information you need to make intelligent, informed business decisions.
