Due Diligence*

BACKTRACK REPORT - THE INSIGHT YOU NEED

First Advantage Investigative Services offers independent background due diligence to fund of funds, fund advisors, pension funds, endowments, investment banks, venture capital firms, law firms and anyone else looking to establish the issues of undue risk carried by the management of a company or fund before investing money or reputation. Our BackTrack Report provides you with the insight you need to make informed business decisions.

Our researchers access multiple proprietary and publicly available data sources to identify and compile information about the subject, including:

  • Criminal history
  • Federal and state civil litigation
  • Bankruptcies
  • Liens
  • Judgments
  • Regulatory sanctions
  • Uniform Commercial Code filings
  • Corporate records (to identify undisclosed business affiliations)
  • Comprehensive media research

Source Interviews
Our BackTrack Report also contains results of interviews of individuals knowledgeable about the subject’s background, work history or other relevant issues that may reveal insight into his or her past. This can be an excellent predictor of future behavior.

Credential Verification
All degrees and professional licenses are verified in the First Advantage BackTrack Report.

Why the BackTrack Report?

  • For over 13 years, our singular focus has been providing consistently reliable results that are more relevant to your risk mitigation concerns than any other combination of resources, including industry contracts.
  • Our BackTrack Report contains a search of court records in each and every jurisdiction that a subject has lived or worked, rather than only where he or she lives now.
  • We retrieve hard copy court records rather than relying on excerpts from online indexes. By doing so, the BackTrack Report distinguishes between issues involving your subject and those involving someone else with the same name in the same area.
  • We offer reasonable, flat fee pricing.
  • Our active inquiry sets us apart from other firms. Firms claiming to offer due diligence services faster or cheaper are likely leaving out essential steps in the investigative process.
