Asset tracing for individuals & companies
So many companies make the mistake of taking an individual or company to court before doing their proper research. It is wrong to assume the court’s decision will always fall in your favour, even if you believe your case is too strong to lose. It is much better to ensure you know the status of the subject you wish to take to court, before starting legal proceedings. That’s why asset tracing for fraud is so important.
Here at Global Investigations, our private investigators can provide professional asset tracing services for businesses and individuals in the UK and across the world. Our experienced asset tracing team can work with you identify personal assets and corporate assets hidden anywhere in the world.
Knowing what assets the subject in question has will enable you to see if they are worth suing or not. This essential research will ensure you do not lose a lot of money pursuing a pointless case.
How asset tracing can help you?
We offer extremely effective asset tracking services to search and locate hidden assets. This private investigation service is offered throughout the UK and overseas. We always work within the parameters you have set us and only ever use legitimate avenues to collect our information. This means everything we find can be legally submitted in court and will serve as evidence to substantiate any claim you make.
For example, if you are involved in divorce proceedings, you may believe your partner is not revealing all of their assets. You have a right to know the truth and we can help you uncover their fraud with our Tracking My Partner service. As a detective agency, we will search and attempt to uncover any assets, such as property investments and any company directorships and shares.
All of our searches can be carried out in the UK and internationally. We are also fortunate enough to have developed many strong relationships with agents overseas. These relationships are of huge benefit to us and more often than not enable us to uncover assets that have been extremely well-hidden in overseas properties and businesses.

We take great care to ensure all evidence collected and reports produced are of a high standard and can be legally submitted to the courts as evidence. All the evidence we collate is done so in a timely fashion and, of course, will always be genuine and legally obtained.
