Corporate and internal investigations
Fact-finding for suspected fraud, theft, conflicts of interest and employee misconduct. We help define the allegation, preserve relevant material and establish what the available evidence supports.

We work with counsel, manufacturers, transportation and distribution businesses, insurers, employers and private individuals on fraud, due diligence, litigation support, surveillance and location work.
Some matters are suited to a focused records search. Others require fieldwork, interviews or coordination with counsel. We recommend the smallest lawful scope that can answer the question, and we will say plainly when an investigator is not the right solution.
How an engagement works
1. Define the question
We discuss the facts you already have, the decision you need to make and any legal or time constraints.
2. Agree on scope
You receive a written plan that sets out the work, deliverables, timing and fees before the investigation begins.
3. Investigate
We use the lawful records, research, interviews or fieldwork relevant to the assignment and provide updates at agreed points.
4. Report
The final report separates confirmed facts from unverified leads and explains important gaps or limitations.

Frequently asked questions
Are private investigators licensed in Ontario?
Yes. Private investigators and investigative agencies in Ontario are regulated under the Private Security and Investigative Services Act. You can review licensing information on the Government of Ontario website.
How much does a private investigator in Brantford cost?
Cost depends on the objective, available information, travel and the type of work required. After a confidential intake, we provide a written scope and fee estimate before work begins.
What can a private investigator legally do?
A licensed investigator can conduct lawful public-record and open-source research, interviews, location enquiries and surveillance in places where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. Investigators cannot access private bank, phone or government records without proper authority.
Will the investigation remain confidential?
We limit information to the people assigned to the matter and agree on reporting contacts at the outset. No investigator can promise absolute confidentiality in every circumstance, particularly if disclosure is required by law or a court.
How quickly can work begin?
Timing depends on the assignment and investigator availability. Urgent deadlines should be included in your first message so we can confirm what is realistic before you rely on a date.
