One of the services provided by the Strela detective agency is checking business partners. This service is most relevant just for Ukraine, since here the issue of fraud in business is very acute.
Checking business partners will help you make sure that you have chosen the right person for cooperation, and the right person is, at a minimum, 90 percent successful cooperation.
Consider the possible options for the “wrong” partner.
- A double agent. If your company has some valuable secret information that you have to share with a partner, then there is a threat that this information may fall into third hands from him. In our society, which has almost become an informative society, information can be expensive. And if there is a threat of its leakage, then this is a big risk for a successful business. And although now the sale of classified information is not such a terrifying threat as during the Cold War of the USSR and the West, but its probability cannot be rejected. Checking business partners will allow you to be sure that secret information will not be disclosed or sold to a third party.
- Criminal element. The business world is full of pitfalls and voracious sharks. Your business partner can easily turn out to be an element of the criminal world. It is better not to deal with such people. This can not only negatively affect your reputation, but also cost you much more than just notoriety. The phrase, present in many action films: “Nothing personal – just business”, has become one of the realities of the modern world.
- Fraud. In business, there is a high probability of being deceived. There are many “fake offices” that are not even legal entities and disappear after getting the money. There is a probable danger of encountering representatives of the criminal world. Elements of the criminal world are able to come up with many ways to take away the wealth of another. A particularly big risk is lending to unverified persons who can disappear into thin air immediately after they have the money. It is no less dangerous (and, perhaps, even more) to borrow from persons belonging to the underworld. In this case, you run the risk of running into an unexpected jump in interest (they say, inflation and all that), or simply the amount will be more than you took. Or if you take out a loan against real estate or other valuable propertyin, then be sure that you will not be allowed to repay this loan, and as a result you may endure great hardships.
- If you are going to purchase a large wholesale consignment of goods, then there is a possibility that it will be of poor quality – expired or defective. For example, you buy a wagon of condensed milk… condensed milk in containers: fresh in the near ones, expired in the distant ones, which you can’t get close to. Therefore, it is always better to play it safe by learning more about your partner.
- There is also a possibility that your business partner is not a swindler or a bandit, but just a bad businessman, not in the sense that he will sell you goods at a loss, but in the sense that he will fool you for a month brains, and then completely refuses the deal. Thus, you will again incur losses.
Checking business partners is not a cheap service. None of the services provided by a private detective agency is cheap. But, using it, you can insure yourself against really large losses. A business can be multifaceted, and in today’s half-industrial, half-information society, checking business partners has the right to become one of the main aspects of a business strategy.
