    Common Reasons for Hiring a Private Investigator

    1. Commercial Fraud & Due Diligence
      • Businesses often need background checks on potential partners, employees, or investors.
      • Our investigators verify financial records, directorship histories, and any red flags that might put your operations at risk.
    2. Infidelity & Relationship Concerns
      • Spouses or partners who suspect unfaithfulness may request discreet surveillance or online dating investigations.
      • We gather evidence – photos, timelines, or digital footprints—to confirm or dismiss suspicions.
    3. Missing Persons
      • Loved ones who’ve disappeared or old friends you’ve lost contact with.
      • If standard skip tracing doesn’t suffice, we escalate to in-depth private investigations.
    4. Insurance & Fraud
      • Some cases involve verifying insurance claims, investigating fraudulent activities, or ensuring compliance with policy terms.

    Case Example: Commercial Due Diligence on a New Supplier

    A mid-sized Auckland import company suspected their new overseas supplier might be linked to past bankruptcies. Our investigators:

    1. Reviewed International Records: Cross-referenced business registration data and financial statements.
    2. Contacted Local Associates: Spoke discreetly with former partners.
    3. Revealed Hidden Red Flags: Found multiple directorship bans in the supplier’s history.

    This early detection saved the Auckland firm from a risky partnership, preventing potential legal and financial fallout.
