No Hiding Place V a Detective Agency

No Hiding Place Versus A Detective Agency

Capabilities and Resources	A Detective Agency	No Hiding Place Ltd
Results Obtained	Some of the time. There is no particularly strong incentive for detective agencies to go out of their way to obtain results. These type of agencies are paid either hourly or on a budget allocation basis for the job - not on results. You pay them whether they succeed or fail.	Almost all the time. If we don't obtain the required results, you don't pay us. We don't need to do this but it conveys to our clients a measure of our confidence in our work. We therefore need to obtain results almost all the time to succeed commercially, enhance our reputation and continue to be recommended to new clients.
People Tracing Abilities	As the cheapest tracers are often chosen to do the work the chances of success are severely restricted. Paying more doesn't necessarily mean better chances of success as, in the case of detective agencies, just more of the same techniques are used.	Only experienced specialists in this field are used. If the target can't be tracked down one way then special intelligence methods are used (not available to detective agencies), to track down even the most difficult to locate person(s) or companies (even in other countries).
UK Asset Tracing Capabilities	Lack of knowledge and the number of techniques known to Detective Agencies give only a mediocre chances of success in UK asset tracing. Almost all Detecive agencies charge on an hourly or budget allocation rate for this, for anything but the simplest of asset traces. Again this means good money is inevitably risked being thrown after bad.	Our speciality. Several methods and contacts are used to achieve the required results. We not only trace assets in the target's name, but can also trace assets held in trust for the target. For this we use a variety of special (and exclusive) techniques to obtain results where detective agencies fail. To ensure our futures are inextricably linked and that we put maximum effort into the exercise, our fees are often a direct percentage of everything we find.
This includes the location of properties, hidden bank accounts, shares in public companies, businesses the subject has and cash in safety deposit boxes.	Detective agencies usually try to work on a variety of investigations (including matrimonial work, where the experience required is not the same for commercial intelligence work).	Experts. Very specialised techniques and resources are used to achieve results. No Hiding Place Ltd uncovers even the most professionally concealed assets. This includes the identification of the beneficiaries of offshore companies and trusts, wherever they are located, and other associated assignments of this type. Hidden bank accounts can also be located anywhere from the Channel Islands to Switzerland.

Electronic Surveillance	Detective agencies have no expert knowledge of the latest developments in sophisticated electronic surveillance equipment, or how to use it properly. Intelligence agencies such as No Hiding Place Ltd have a thorough knowledge of what equipment is available worldwide, how to use it discreetly and professionally and to undertake the most difficult assignments. Only basic equipment is available and known of to detective agencies. Many of these agencies don't even know how to use that type properly.	Knowledge of currently available technology and its uses is the key here. The latest communications, room monitoring techniques and equipment are accessed by us to help deliver the results you need. This includes laser infiltration technology and other types of "high tech" electronic surveillance. These are just a few of the resources available to us to achieve results for you quickly and effectively. We also supply this type of equipment to industry (including telephone bug deactivators and scramblers), so we are very familiar with all the best equipment available in this field.
Discretion used throughout the assignment.	It depends on the quality of the people used and this is often lacking. This incompetence means the subject(s) often discovers what is going on and the whole investigation is then in jeopardy of being ruined. You, the client, could also be discovered as the one behind the investigation which can lead to severe embarrassment and possible retaliatory action.	No Hiding Place Ltd always use highly exprienced personel for their work to ensure maximum discretion is always maintained. The subject must be totally unaware that an investigation is being conducted giving the client's identity complete protection.
Undercover work.	Average. The cheapest operatives are often used which jeopardises the entire assignment.	Only intelligence professionals are used. This is to ensure maximum chances of success. For instance, if one of our female operatives is instructed to obtain information (that is closely guarded by the subject) she will go to whatever lengths are necessary to obtain it. If necessary she is provided with "the cover" of normal daytime employment so that the target is never suspicous of her true function in life. Our undercover agents are highly trained and single-minded intelligence operatives who eat, sleep and live by this type of work. They know the consequences of failure as well as the rewards of success.

Ability to tackle very complex investigations	Limited due to the lack of knowledge, expertise and contacts.	This is our forte and our resources have been specially developed over time to specifically tackle complex and involved cases.
Contacts and Informants	Most have few contacts, and those that do, are normally not in particularly helpful positions.	In all the important places. Our contacts are developed by professional training. We need say no more.
Ability to obtain documentary evidence	Most detective agencies can only obtain simple documents. (If any at all).	Where there is a will there is a way. We almost always find that way and are naturally under pressure to deliver or don't get paid.
Observation and physical surveillance work. (Watching and following people)	Detective agencies often rely extensively on this "out of date tool" to obtain the required information. Following and observing people for commercial work is very expensive as it usually requires a team of agents to ensure any one operative doesn't get spotted and ruin the investigation. This resource gives no guarantees of results.	As this resource is labour intensive, time consuming and expensive, it is only used when necessary. NHP uses the best team of operatives for this type of work. This often comprises ex-SAS or MI5 personnel ensuring that the target is not lost, or the operative spotted, even with the most "surveillance aware" person. This is necessary if we are to coordinate in other parts of the investigation without the target getting suspicious or preventing us from obtaining other information.
Management and reporting capabilities	Seldom professionally qualified in management and reporting skills. Reports from Detective agencies are often "padded out".	Commercially experienced and professionally qualified in management and reporting skills - NHP reports are all meat - no waffle. This means that all work is carefully thought out and planned.
Levels of Operations planning	Average. We are not impressed with the standard set in this area by detective agencies. Most do not know what proper planning is all about.	The level of operations planning is set to match job specifications. This varies from the simple to the very complex.
Risks	Good money is risked being thrown after bad, as ordinary investigators offer no guarantees of results whatsoever.	Minimal risk of you throwing good money away as we only require Payment on Results.
Time taken to complete a specific job	It varies, but with detective agencies if they spend more time working on a case it doesn't necessarily mean better results, as their resources are limited. (i.e: They can only conduct more of the same very basic tasks). e.g: More tailing or observing of the target.	In the fastest possible time. We understand the importance of speedy work, but also the importance of quality information. With NHP higher budget buys more resources and higher, more powerful/effective techniques to obtain the required information.
