Frequently Asked Questions: Birmingham

Is most of your work done remotely or on site in Birmingham?
Most investigations are conducted remotely from our London headquarters. Background checks, people tracing, online research and database work are all digital and do not require a physical presence in Birmingham. Surveillance and certain field investigations require our agents to be deployed to Birmingham, which we arrange with advance planning.
What types of work can you do remotely for Birmingham clients?
Background checks, employment screening, people tracing, asset searches, online investigations, social media research, database enquiries and most due diligence work can all be conducted remotely without visiting Birmingham.
How quickly can surveillance start in Birmingham?
Surveillance requires planning and field agent deployment. We typically need three to five working days to arrange professional surveillance in Birmingham. Background checks and digital investigations can start the same day.
Do I need to visit your office for my Birmingham investigation?
No. We conduct most investigations remotely and communicate with clients by phone, email or video call. Face-to-face meetings are available at our London office if you prefer, but they are not required.

Yes. From the initial call to the final report, your privacy is our absolute priority. Nothing is shared without your explicit consent.

Most investigations can begin within 24 to 48 hours. Because surveillance is planned in advance, we will agree a clear timeline with you before any work begins.
Do you work with businesses?
