Safeguard your business with expert corporate investigation services

It’s fair to say the corporate world is dog-eat-dog. Sometimes, it’s fair game, with the strongest individuals and companies coming out on top. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. There will always be some companies or even members of your own team who want to gain an advantage or make a bit of money at your expense.
The specialist corporate investigators at M19 Solutions can uncover what’s really happening in and around your business. Crucially, we’ll work to stop the culprits in their tracks or give you the evidence to take action, whether that’s dismissals or court.
Professional
Every member of our team is fully trained with a police or military background, so you can rest assured we’re up to the job. If you're searching for a corporate investigator, look no further.
Discreet
From the confidential first call to our covert surveillance, nobody has to know a thing about our corporate investigator's work for your company. The entire process will be completely confidential.
Evidence
Whatever the problem, we’ll provide concrete evidence that will show you for certain what’s going on and stand up in court if needed. This evidence can take many shapes including video footage, circumstantial evidence and more.
How can corporate investigation services help?
Corporate investigations can involve a wide range of issues that concern companies and employees. One thing they all have in common is that they’re costing you time, money and potentially your reputation.
Due Diligence
Doing business with an unfamiliar company or even a new director? Our corporate investigator will complete due diligence to make sure everything’s above board on their end. This allows you to make informed decisions.
Investment Checks
If you’re investing money, it’s crucial that you know where it’s going. Our corporate investigator team can check a company’s background to give you peace of mind.
Fake Illness
Some employees just don’t want to work. We’ll check whether they’re actually sick, or just feigning illness while you top up their bank account.
Working Elsewhere
Sometimes, employees can even be working elsewhere while they’re supposed to be sick. Our team will seek it out and get you the proof.
Employment Theft
The quickest ways for employees to steal from you is to do it directly. Covert surveillance by our corporate investigators will do the trick and stop them in their tracks.
Corporate Scams
Hundreds of companies are scammed each year by unscrupulous con artists. We’ll help you track them down and undo the damage.
Broken Agreement
Whether it’s dodgy goods, sub-rate services or something more specific, our corporate specialists have got your back.
Money Owed
There’s nothing worse than clients that don’t pay. We’ll track them down and help you prove their wrongdoing to get what’s rightfully yours.
Undercover Surveillance
Our highly skilled corporate investigators and undercover operatives will use the latest covert technology to obtain high-quality evidence in your workplace.

Corporate investigation FAQs
It’s only natural you’ll have some questions about our corporate investigation services. Take a look at the frequently asked questions below to find out more.
Whether you’re a large company, SME or sole trader, corporate investigation is an invaluable solution for any type of business. From farmers to financial services, all businesses face similar problems with employees and dodgy clients. Having worked with a wide variety of companies in various industries, we’re here to help you, whatever your requirements.
With such a wide scope of services on offer, corporate investigation is far from one-size-fits-all. The good news is, neither are our rates. Whether it’s tracking a debtor or investigating absent employees on an ongoing basis, we’ll always tailor our prices to fit your needs.
As with any service, you will always find cheap, sub-rate alternatives for corporate investigation. Unfortunately, much like buying a cheap car or a cheap pair of jeans, you’ll only get what you pay for. Cheap investigators will rarely be professional and the result will reflect this, leaving your legal case unresolved and your time and money wasted.
Similar to the pricing, it’s almost impossible to provide a single timeframe for such a wide variety of cases. With a corporate investigator on board, our quick response means we’re able to resolve some cases in as little as a day. However, things like ongoing surveillance and locating debtors can take longer. We’ll always provide an accurate estimate of this in a consultation and keep you up to date throughout.
A police or military background is a pre-requisite for all members of the M19 Solutions team. That’s fine-tuned with specialist training in security, covert operations and complete discretion – not to mention years of experience using these skills to provide the results and evidence our clients need.
Accreditations are vital when it comes to services provided by a corporate investigator. Not least because of the confidential information it entails. M19 Solutions can put your mind at ease in this regard, with a team that’s fully ICO registered for data protection. On top of that, we’re fully insured to eliminate any risk of financial loss during your corporate investigation.
It’s completely legal for you to hire a private investigator for your business in the UK. The only concern is what that corporate investigator is doing to obtain information. At M19 Solutions, we make sure all of our research, investigations and surveillance are completely above board with no laws broken or rights breached.
Our internal investigations aim to give you clear evidence of what your staff are getting up to. If that involves a breach of contract, such as faking illness to avoid their duties, then it’s within your rights to dismiss that employee and possibly sue them for a breach of contract if necessary.
At M19 Solutions, we work effectively to uncover information and gather evidence for our clients. To date, we have completed over 1,000 investigation cases including employee misconduct, fraud, money laundering, intellectual property theft, as well as many other personal and business matters.
Meetings are a useful way to get a proper understanding of your case. With that in mind, we’re happy to arrange a discreet face-to-face consultation to discuss your requirements and take you through our process.
That said, there are several reasons why a face-to-face meeting might not work, whether you’re based further afield or simply worried about being seen. Our corporate investigators are happy to hold consultations by phone, video call or even discuss matters by email. That flexibility extends to updates throughout your case, all of which will be discreet and confidential. We will work closely with you throughout the process.
There’s no point in corporate investigation if you don’t have anything to show for it. We make sure all our findings are collated for each client, giving you a comprehensive report at the end of each case. That includes activities with times, dates and locations, alongside photographic and video evidence wherever possible. It could also include legally obtained accounting records or supply chain information.
Using the latest surveillance equipment, we make sure all our evidence is of the highest quality possible, so it can be used to support legal cases wherever needed. If required, our operatives can also back that evidence up in court as witnesses.
Our operatives are extensively trained in staying discreet throughout operations. Whether we’re watching an individual or gathering information about a client, there is absolutely no worry of anyone finding out – including the person or business we’re investigating.
