How to Offer Background Reports

You'll find hundred of web sites on the Internet that offer background checks. But exactly what is a background check? What does it include and how much should you charge?

A background check or background report can vary according to what is offered and what the client wants. Also the reason they want it.

A background report for pre employment or tenant screening purposes is different from a report needed to check out a potential business partner or even a potential date. Like wise the costs will vary.

Your best bet when offering background check services is to set up several basic packages that include criminal, financial and driving records searches. You can expand on those after consulting with the client and determining their individual needs.

Many investigators will be working on a larger case and in the course of that investigation will need a quick background search. In that situation they can outsource the background search to another investigator that specializes in that type of investigation on a routine basis.
