Business Background Investigations

Book excerpt: It is easier to paint a pretty picture than to hide a checkered past. In business, a company's future can depend upon what it knows about a competitor, vendor, customer or potential partner. The difference between entering a profitable relationship or costly litigation can hinge on an effective business background investigation. A smart businessperson checks to see if there are hidden past financial problems, principals with criminal records, or a history of lawsuits. Business Background Investigations provides the tools and techniques needed to investigate any business entity and uncover the details essential for success in a highly competitive environment.
