Background Investigations
Background investigations have become increasingly necessary for both corporations and individuals to protect their interests and stay ahead of unscrupulous entities. At John Cutter Investigations, we provide comprehensive background reports tailored to each client’s needs and budget. Our investigators have decades of experience in conducting background investigations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida for a variety of purposes, including witness background checks for litigation support, financial or investment transactions, new franchise owner background checks, suspected fraud, and pre-employment background checks.
How We Conduct Background Investigations
To conduct a thorough background check, our investigators begin with searches in multiple online databases. All information that we uncover online is rigorously cross-checked and vetted for accuracy. Additionally, our investigators will obtain and review all available public documents at courthouses and municipal offices throughout the country, including marital records, criminal records, citizenship status, real estate records, and more. At JCI, we understand that character cannot be determined by paper records alone, which is why, if requested, we will conduct interviews with a subject’s professional and personal references. Our investigators are reliable, discreet, and experienced, and upon completing our investigation, we will deliver an exhaustive report detailing our findings.
