The Importance of a Company Background Check
Before embarking on any contract one needs to carry out a background check on the company as well as the person that draws up such contracts. Once you have run a check and have established that the company is legitimate then you will need to do a history check which can be found in the public corporate records. There are several websites such as KnowX.com, Dunn and Bradstreet.com an Equifa.com that specialize in checking out company backgrounds.
In order to make the right decision about a client you will need to keep searching to find all the information you require. There are several websites that carry out background searches that are free and there are some that charge a small fee for their services. Once you have established that you will get paid for the work you carry out you can then move on with confidence as well as reach a level of comfort with your client.
By visiting the Secretary of States website you will be able to define the corporate status as well as the principal individuals that are associated with any said company. In turn you will be able to conduct a background check on the principals listed by carrying out a Google search. This will allow you to find any possible court records, press releases or media mentions related to these principals listed. KnowX.com, for instance, will allow you to search for a company by name, and then only view the company's information.
One can also get information as to how long the company has been in existence as well as how reliable and successful the company is. For instance many companies pay to be listed with the Dunn and Bradstreet website due to them being a reputable credit reference organization. However, do heed caution as Dunn and Bradstreet also offer free listings for companies. Most of the companies are legitimate that are listed on this website as the listings are regularly checked against those of the government listings.
Dunn and Bradstreet will more than often supply one with a company's history such as payment reports and will also let you know if the company is listed. However, if you require a comprehensive background check then you will need to pay as well as spend some time researching the resources yourself. There are several websites that will do these checks for around $20 to $50 for fully detailed background scanning.
