Online background check services advertise instant results for a few dollars, but these services have significant limitations. They rely on incomplete databases, often return inaccurate results, and miss important information that only a professional investigator can uncover through direct court record searches, interviews, and investigative techniques.
A professional background check from Crucial Investigations provides verified, accurate information that you can rely on for important life decisions. Our investigators personally verify critical findings rather than simply aggregating database results.
We conduct background checks on individuals throughout South Carolina and nationally. Our access to state and federal databases, combined with our ability to conduct field investigation in the Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Upstate region, makes us the go-to resource for thorough background investigations in our community.
Basic background checks — including criminal records, address history, and identity verification — typically take 2 to 3 business days. More comprehensive investigations involving employment verification, education confirmation, and financial research may take 5 to 10 business days depending on the depth of information requested.
Online consumer background check services aggregate publicly available data from automated databases, which are often incomplete or inaccurate. Our investigators access professional-grade databases, conduct direct court record searches, verify information through interviews and field investigation, and provide a detailed report with verified findings you can rely on.
In many situations, yes. Private individuals can hire investigators to conduct background research using public records and lawful investigative methods. However, certain types of checks — such as credit reports — require the subject's consent under federal law (FCRA). We advise you on what is permissible for your specific situation during your free consultation.
