Business profile:
Well established, highly regarded Private Investigation Agency, currently based in South East. The business specializes in providing a discreet, professional and value for money service. This agency has been established for over 20 years. Although most clients are based in the south east, the agency offers a nationwide service via its partnerships with other agencies around the U.K. This networking strategy provides scope for significant growth in the future.

The business offers all the services normally associated with this industry including process serving, surveillance, tracing missing persons, interviewing of suspects and witnesses for both criminal and civil cases, background checks, providing evidence for road traffic investigations, criminal defence, fraud investigations and repossessions.

It should be made clear that no formal qualifications are required to deliver these services. This is a very well established, easy to manage business with all the necessary systems in place. This represents an excellent acquisition opportunity for anyone looking to enter this sector or alternatively for an existing operator looking to expand in the lucrative south east market.

In addition, unlike most other investigation agencies, the business has expertise in chasing debtors, preparing and serving legal process relating to the Insolvency Act and similar, and collecting debts, although again this service receives little marketing. Indeed collection work has formed a significant proportion of turnover in previous years.
