What is a background check?

A private investigation background check is a comprehensive review of an individual’s personal, professional, and legal history, conducted by a licensed private investigator to verify identity, assess risk, or uncover concealed information. It goes far beyond automated online searches, delivering verified, court-sourced, and investigator-analyzed intelligence used for employment screening, due diligence, relationship vetting, fraud prevention, and more.

Most professional background checks are offered in tiers, with basic levels covering identity verification, criminal records, and address history, and advanced tiers expanding into areas like asset tracing, civil litigation, financial records, digital footprints, and in-person reference interviews. Higher tiers provide a more detailed and nuanced picture—critical in sensitive personal, business, or legal matters.

During a private investigation, background checks may include criminal and civil searches, social media analysis, professional license verification, and global database reviews. Investigators apply human judgment to interpret the data accurately, ensuring lawful and context-driven results.

For example, a private investigator in Los Angeles might perform a business background check to confirm a potential partner’s financial and legal integrity, or conduct a relationship background check to verify whether a person met online is who they claim to be—protecting clients from deception, fraud, or emotional risk.

Unlike automated data services, private investigation background checks are grounded in ethical research, legal compliance, and human intelligence, producing insights that are both credible and admissible.

Whether you’re hiring an employee, entering a business partnership, or protecting yourself personally, a private investigation background check provides the clarity, confidence, and security you need—locally in Los Angeles or anywhere in the world.
