The importance of economic intelligence and the role of the detective in its conduct
This consists in collecting information available in public and classified sources in accordance with the Due Diligence practice, i.e. with due diligence. Omitting to check the contractor in financial terms is one of the most common causes of arrears in invoice payments, which in turn generates deterioration of the company's financial condition and often leads to the loss of financial liquidity.
Economic intelligence quite often determines the so-called competitive advantage, because information about the business partner's assets, markets, and cooperating companies help to determine the direction in which the company should follow in order to develop better than the competition.
Using my skills as a detective, I prepare an economic report, starting with checking whether a given company really exists. This is done by verifying the address data, NIP, REGON, business owners or company managers. The basic source of information is data contained in state registers. As a detective, within my competence, I verify this data by taking into account press releases, social media, customer reviews. In addition, in order to confirm the above data, a private detective, if deemed appropriate, may carry out a site visit, i.e. take photos of the facility, cars, real estate, equipment, as well as conduct conversations with the contractor's owners and employees.
Polish entrepreneurs can also commission a detective to verify foreign contractors in order to determine whether a given company exists, who manages it and whether the owners are not on the so-called sanation lists, i.e. whether they are not included in the list of suspects, min. for economic crimes, money laundering, cybercrime, etc.
As part of its services, Detective Kraków also offers constant monitoring of foreign contractors and cyclical confirmation of their financial liquidity. These actions will help protect the company from fraudsters, and thus exclude financial losses and gain a competitive advantage.
