wpusername1185Private Investigation

In this article: A background investigation verifies a person’s identity, history, and records before you hire, partner, rent, or trust. 10-8 Protective Services LLC conducts background investigations across Columbus and Central Ohio.

Whether you are hiring a key employee, choosing a business partner, vetting a contractor, or starting a new relationship, knowing who you are dealing with matters. A background investigation goes beyond a quick online search to verify identity and uncover relevant history from reliable sources.

What a Background Investigation Can Include

Depending on the purpose and legal permissions, a background investigation may include identity and address history, court records, civil judgments, liens, bankruptcies, business affiliations, professional licenses, and verification of education or employment claims.

Following the Law

Employment screening is governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires disclosure, written authorization, and specific notices before adverse action. We help clients understand when FCRA applies and keep every investigation within lawful limits.

Beyond Database Results

Online databases often contain errors or outdated information. Our investigators verify results through court records, direct inquiries, and field checks so you receive accurate facts rather than unconfirmed data.

We listen to your concerns, explain what an investigation can and cannot accomplish under Ohio law, and recommend a plan that fits your goals and budget.
