General Outline
The prices we quote assume we succeed. If we don't obtain the
information you require, you don't pay us. It's as simple as
that.
There are no lengthy time delays or over involved discussions with our costing procedures, but we do need to know where our starting point is so we can quote you as reasonably as possible.
We therefore need to know as much relevant information on the target person or company, that you have on file. For this we provide a special briefing form which ensures that you give us all relevant information. We then assess the expertise, risk and overall resources required to achieve your objectives.
Two examples of our most common assignments, and the way we price them, are shown below as a guide to the way we work:
Trace An Individual's
Current Address (Or Addresses)
A discussion initially takes place, usually over the phone, as to
what information the client currently possesses on the target.
The target's name alone and an idea of the area he lives in, is
often sufficient for us to locate him. Sometimes the target's
name and last address is enough to have him/her traced or maybe
just his/her full name and date of birth. On some occasions we
are challenged with tracing someone who uses alias names. It
hasn't been unusual for us to positively trace these people like
this, simply using "snippets" of other information you
have on the subject.
In most cases a meeting between the client and us is unnecessary and we can quote you over the phone, saving you and us precious business time. If the trace is likely to have possible complexities we send you an easy to understand briefing form to complete and return to us.
Whatever the case, There's No Hiding Place for even the most determined and elusive absconders, or any other people trying to escape their creditors or other responsibilities.
There are over 100 ways to trace absconders or other elusive parties. We therefore have to decide which method or methods are best suited to the trace.
A brief discussion with you over the phone is usually all we need to establish the circumstances surrounding the target and his disapperance. This enables us to give you an estimate of budget over the phone.

Locating hidden assets is more complex than locating hidden
people.
We usually need to know where the target is before his assets can be found. Therefore we assume his/their address is already available to us. If not, we will request that you instruct us to locate it before we proceed further. (There are occasions, when we do not need to locate the individual before we locate their assets but this is rarer). Being as "streetwise" as we are professional, our experience in understanding the mechanisms and the methods used by devious people to hide their assets is illustrated in the results we achieve. Time and time again. These people try, of course, to hide their (or other people's) money from creditors, wives or other interested parties, but to no avail as there's No Hiding Place.
There's no hiding, even for people who try to hide behind offshore bank accounts.
Locating the subject's first bank account or property is relatively straightforward. It's the subsequent hidden (larger) assets and bank accounts that prove more of a challenge - but not impossible by any means.
Depending on the way the target has arranged his personal and business affairs, the way we quote for locating assets varies.
If you think the target is likely to have concealed assets we try to assess the circumstances before quoting. We have over 21 ways of locating "hidden" bank accounts and assets, each method having its own time, resource and budget implications.
