Miami does business fast, across borders, with people who arrived last year. That is its strength and its risk: the partner with an impressive story, the executive whose résumé is almost true, the investor whose money nobody has traced, the bookkeeper who has been quietly stealing for three years. FSO Guard’s licensed corporate investigators in Miami verify people and companies before you commit, and find the truth when something has already gone wrong.
Corporate investigation services
Executive and pre-employment background checks
Verification of identity, education, employment history, licenses and credentials; criminal, civil and regulatory records; litigation and bankruptcy history; reputation and media research; reference and former-associate interviews for senior hires — all compliant with FCRA and Florida law in coordination with your HR and counsel.
Business partner, investor and vendor due diligence
Who are you really doing business with? Corporate filings and ownership, affiliated companies, litigation, judgments and liens, regulatory actions, sanctions and watchlist screening, financial distress indicators, reputation in their industry and country of origin. Domestic and international, including Latin America, Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Employee theft, embezzlement and fraud
Investigation of shrink, embezzlement, kickbacks, expense and payroll fraud, time theft and data theft — records analysis, interviews, surveillance and undercover placements, with findings documented for termination, insurance recovery, civil action and police reports.
Undercover and integrity operations
Licensed investigators placed in warehouses, retail, restaurants and offices to identify theft rings, drug activity, harassment and safety violations from the inside — see loss prevention.
Asset searches and judgment recovery
Lawful identification of real property, vehicles, vessels, business interests and other assets for judgment enforcement, divorce and business disputes.
Real estate, tenant and buyer screening
Verification of buyers, tenants and short-term rental guests for luxury property owners, landlords and brokers — a Miami specialty where fraud and identity theft in real estate are common.

Workplace investigations
Independent investigation of harassment, discrimination, threats and misconduct complaints for HR and counsel.
Intellectual property and counterfeit

How an investigation works
- Confidential consultation — the decision or problem, what you already know, deadlines, and how the findings will be used.
- Scope and estimate — a written proposal defining the questions, sources, methods, timeline and cost; fixed fees for standard due diligence, hourly for open investigations.
- Investigation — records research, interviews, surveillance and field work by licensed investigators, with interim updates.
- Report — a clear written report with sources, exhibits and recommendations, delivered securely; testimony when required.
