At On The Case, we help businesses make informed decisions by conducting thorough background checks and due diligence investigations on employees, contractors and business partners. Our experienced investigators provide verified, accurate information to reduce exposure to risk, protect reputation and support informed business decisions.

Why Background Checks and Due Diligence Matter

Failing to verify individuals or partners can lead to financial loss, regulatory issues, reputational damage or legal exposure.

Our business background checks and due diligence services allow organisations to:

• Confirm employment history, qualifications and professional references

• Assess financial stability and creditworthiness

• Identify criminal records or integrity concerns

• Analyse reputational and online presence for potential risks

We provide actionable intelligence that helps you make informed decisions and protect your organisation.
