Background Checks_
Our background checks look into a person, company, corporation or your own criminal, personal and professional history to explore what validates or disproves their or your character and identity. A background check may delve into criminal records, employment history, civil records, personal references and an education check. You decide the level of background check that you require.
This is a sample of what a background case will look like when I send it to you:
The report will normally be tend 5-60 pages of data.
I've formatted the report specifically so it's easy to read and understand.
Some of the information provided is listed below.
The current address and phone number will be in red.
This information can not be used to establish credit worthiness of anyone.
It can not be used to create harm to anyone. Don't let any client read this report.
Do NOT forward this report to anyone. This is to protect you.
This report is your, not anyone else's.
Do not send or copy this information to anyone.
People get very touchy when they know you have things on them, especially when you are reading it to them or they are present. It is for your safety and theirs.
Use this information as a source and not to intimidate or
use as a tool to get to someone. This is my best advice to you.
Red is important (Potentially)
Blue is something to ask about or know
Black is normal information that is most likely useless to you.
I color code this to make it easy for you to avoid data that is not relevant.

Questions about Background Checks_

__Are you, your parent or your child entering into a personal relationship that could be detrimental because that individual had a dangerous or dishonest past? It may be wise to check if the person is a criminal, a registered sex offender or a child molester.
__Are you going to do business with someone, hire someone or rent something to someone whom you do not know well? This activity could cost you severely in many areas if you are dealing with the wrong person or persons.
__In regards to you personal information, it is best to have a professional deal with sensitive information.
