Commercial Investigators take many shapes and forms in today’s complex business environment.

Our commercial investigators strengths are in the provision of specialist services, merging experience with modern technology which are required to bring a commercial investigation to its very best conclusion, which is essential in this demanding commercial climate that we operate in.
Finding a resolution to your problem is our goal.
The kinds of issues that we are referring to are matters like Employee Theft, Company Fraud and Industrial Espionage. Some of these while commencing on a relatively low level, but as time progresses, and the perpetrator becomes bolder in their endeavours (normally due to a lack of detection), the situation can soon become out of control and start damaging your business.
At Insight Investigations our commercial investigators have faced these scenarios on many occasions on behalf of clients and our highly experienced team are practised at spotting these problems, bringing them to the surface, and identifying the culprits, over the past 40 years.
The behaviour indicators and activities that Insight investigators look out for are wide reaching and our investigators are comprehensively trained on how to spot them.
Typical warning signs might include:
- Individuals with large debts who may be looking for personal gain
- Transactions that take place at unusual times, with odd amounts of money going to conspicuous recipients
- Missing documents with only photocopies available
- Alterations and back dating on documents
- Employees that control a process from start to finish with nobody else involved
- Discrepancies in accounting records
- Repeated periods of unexplained absence
These are just some of the indicators that might suggest that company fraud is taking place.
Our professional commercial investigators will not jump to any conclusions. It is only after a thorough investigation has taken place, evidence gathered, and when appropriate questions have been asked that we make our conclusions and then advise you on what action you might want to take.
It can often be the case that there is nothing to worry about; it’s only when there is behavioural patterns that emerge that cause concern we will inform you. For Professional commercial investigator advice call us on
