Background Investigation
- Learn about the backgrounds
of domestic help, child care and health care providers, elderly care providers, and others
who furnish services and have access to your home. (When these individuals are
represented by an agency, both the agency and the individuals should be checked out.)
- Inquire about contractors: builders, home
repair specialists, landscapers, swimming pool builders, and maintenance personnel.
-
Identify scam artists who pass
themselves off as contractors, collect money for promised or incomplete work and move on
to rip-off others.
-
Investigate business
investments. Especially delve into the backgrounds and reputations of principals before
you release your funds.
-
Study companies you intend
working with; sharing profits with. Know the liabilities you might face should the company
not fulfill its part of a business commitment.
-
Check credit rating, a
company's ability to pay - before doing business with that company.
-
Look closely at research,
marketing, advertising, and public relations firms to ascertain their professional
standing, their ability to get the job done, their performance history. Ask to see
samples of work and proof of results.
-
Determine the integrity of a company. Will they steal your secrets?
