In what circumstances do you need to conduct Asset and Background Check?
1. Matrimonial Matters
You might be going through a divorce and need to assess the financial status of your spouse to determine your stand on arrangements of property division and maintenance. Alternatively, you might be signing a prenuptial agreement and a full disclosure of your partner’s assets would foster an honest discussion. When you suspect that your partner might have hidden assets from you, a discreet and reliable asset and background investigation will be a useful aid in settling your disputes in matrimonial matters.
2. Business Partnership
Before a business partnership, many companies would seek assistance from us to acquire the financial condition of a potential partner beforehand. If you find out that a company has filed for bankruptcy or has been involved in litigations through our corporate investigations, you might need to rethink the deal to avoid loss of capital. By validating the financial stability of the target company, possible risks will be identified at an early stage, and thus businesses can be better informed when they make an important decision.
3. Lawsuits and Debt collection
An asset search is often crucial to many legal cases. For example, the client might wish to consider the assets status of an individual or a company before bringing a suit against them. For an ongoing lawsuit, the findings of a full Asset Search might act as evidence in court.
If you have just won a case, an asset search can facilitate the process of judgement collection by proving that a reluctant debtor is, in fact, financially capable. If an individual or a company that owes a debt to you files for bankruptcy, we can search for hidden assets of the Subject that has escaped distribution, thus securing your rights as a creditor.
