Background Checks That Keep You, Your Business & Your Family Safe
Professional background and employment checks in Birmingham, Manchester & throughout the UK designed to decrease risks to you, your family and your business. Don’t risk leaving yourself vulnerable – protect what matters most.
Do You Really Know Who You’re Trusting?
Every day, people make decisions based on assumptions and half-truths, whether hiring a new employee, choosing a contractor, entering a new relationship, or trusting someone with your child’s safety.
But what happens when that trust is misplaced?
- A bad hire can damage your business reputation, cost you thousands, and drain your team's morale.
- A dishonest contractor could expose you to fraud, bankruptcy risks, or legal trouble.
- A new partner may not be who they claim to be, leaving you emotionally or financially vulnerable.
- A nanny or childminder could have a hidden criminal past that puts your family at risk.
The truth is simple: when it comes to protecting what matters most, hope isn’t a strategy. You need facts. And our personal background check services in Birmingham for employment verification, nanny’s, new partners, and more, are designed to give you just that.
What Background Checks Do We Offer?
Whether you’re hiring staff, working with contractors, or partnering with new businesses, our checks give you the clarity you need. Our employment and background checks include:
Criminal record checks:
Find out if your person of interest has any criminal convictions, court cases, or pending legal actions that could pose a threat to you, your family, or your business.
New employees:
Hiring someone new? With our UK background checks for employment verification, we’ll help you make sure their CV matches reality, their qualifications are genuine, and their past is clean. Find out whether they’re telling the truth in interviews or hiding something that could harm your business down the line.
Contractors and sub-hires:
Planning to subcontract work or bring in an external company? Carry out due diligence to highlight any hidden risks like bankruptcy, financial instability, criminal activity, or previous failures that they have not disclosed.
Potential customers:
Business deals fall apart when trust is broken. Run a background check to find out if a customer has a history of unpaid debts, legal disputes, or broken professional relationships.
New romantic partners:
Online dating and social media have made it easier than ever for scammers, fraudsters, and predators to create convincing fake identities. Our discreet relationship background checks in the UK help protect you from catfish scams, romance fraud, and people with dangerous criminal pasts.
So, whether you need a private investigator for nanny background checks, discreet relationship background checks, or pre-employment screening services in the UK, Anderson & Co has you covered.
New nannies or childcare workers:
Your children’s safety is non-negotiable. Make sure anyone caring for them has a clean, verified history, giving you peace of mind when leaving them in someone else’s hands.
Verify your own background:
Sometimes the best defence is proving the truth. If a competitor has spread lies about you or your business, or if your honesty is in question, we can help verify your history and reputation to protect your professional credibility.
Get in touch with Anderson & Co today to request your background check now.
Many modern businesses consider background checks to be essential due diligence for their staff and contractors.
What are the Benefits of a Background Check?
A professional background check with our
private investigators does far more than uncover someone’s criminal record. It’s an essential step in protecting your business, your family, and your peace of mind. Here’s how a background check from Anderson & Co can help:
Minimise risk and safeguard your future:
A single bad decision – whether it’s a dishonest employee, an unreliable contractor, or an untrustworthy partner – can expose you to serious harm. Our background checks help prevent these risks before they turn into expensive mistakes, helping to protect your finances, reputation, and personal safety.
Save time, money, and stress in the long-run:
Hiring the wrong person or working with the wrong business partner can drain your resources. You’ll be spending time fixing problems, replacing people, and repairing relationships, instead of working on your business. With a thorough background check upfront, you reduce the chance of rehires, legal disputes, or damage control later.
Make informed and confident decisions:
When you’re hiring, forming partnerships, or letting someone into your personal life, uncertainty can cloud your judgement. Our checks give you clear and factual insights, so you can move forward with confidence, knowing that your decisions are backed by real evidence.
Enjoy peace of mind:
Whether it’s protecting your children, your livelihood, or your heart, knowing the truth provides priceless peace of mind. Our investigations let you relax and focus on what’s important, instead of worrying about what might be hiding beneath the surface.
Complete discretion and confidentiality guaranteed:
Your privacy matters to us. Every investigation conducted by our private detectives is completely discreet, and leaves no visible trace behind. We are fully GDPR-compliant and members of the ICO, WAPI, and the Private Investigators network, so you can trust that your sensitive matters remain private at all times.
Stay compliant and responsible:
Hiring or partnering with due diligence is always a responsible choice. Many businesses today see background checks, and other services like
people tracing, as a critical part of protecting their teams, customers, and brand. By conducting thorough checks, you’re demonstrating that you take your responsibilities seriously.
