If someone owes you money, or you are in a business transaction where someone will owe you money soon, it may be a good idea to order an asset search. Asset searches ensure the other party or parties involved in the transaction have sufficient assets to ensure you are paid in full. Asset searches are performed daily to help both individuals and companies settle personal injury cases, collect debt, verify financial statements during divorce, and complete business transactions.
How Is an Asset Search Performed?
A basic asset search (also known as an asset check, or asset investigation,) involves a nationwide search of public records to locate personal property or real estate held by an individual or company. Thorough or “deep” searches can reveal hidden assets such as those in offshore accounts.
There are many different ways to perform an asset search, depending on your particular needs. These searches could include a background check, surveillance work, or computer investigations. The purpose of these searches is to uncover what kind of collectible assets a business or individual has, and how secure they are. Only an asset search can determine whether or not a person or business is using a false name, is involved in fraud, hiding assets, or has a less than stellar track record, and only a qualified private investigator will ensure the most comprehensive search.
Types of Asset Search
There are two types of asset search, the individual asset search, which investigates the assets owned by an individual person, and the corporate asset search, which investigates the assets owned by a business. Divorces and business transactions are one two of many different reasons why someone would require an asset search. Here are the two types of asset search and all reasons why one would be performed:

Asset Search Benefits
If you are employed or own a business, and do business with any other people or companies, an asset search can let you know what that other person or company’s financial status is. This is the only way you can know if someone is truly trustworthy or not. If you are owed money, an asset search will let you know if it’s worth going to court or not. An asset search will let you know how many collectible assets the person or business has and your position in relation to others who may be suing the same debtor. An asset search can also reveal whether or not a person or business is involved in fraud or if their claims of not have the money to pay you are true.
