Corporate and Employee Investigations in London

Discreet Corporate and Employee Investigations

At B25 Private Investigation, we help businesses establish the facts when they are dealing with suspected employee misconduct, fraud, theft, information leaks or other sensitive internal concerns.
Our corporate investigators can combine discreet surveillance, background research, evidence gathering and professional reporting to help you understand what is happening and decide what to do next.

We support business owners, employers, HR professionals, legal teams and organisations across the UK. Every investigation is planned around the specific concern, with a clear focus on confidentiality, proportionality and lawful working methods.

You can find out more about when a London business might need to a private investigator in this article.

Corporate Investigation Services in London

A corporate investigation may be appropriate when internal enquiries have not provided a clear answer or could alert the people involved.
We can help London businesses investigate:

Employee Misconduct
We can examine concerns involving fraudulent sickness absence, unauthorised secondary employment, misuse of company property, false expenses or activity that conflicts with information provided to an employer.

Fraud and Internal Theft
Our investigators can help gather evidence relating to missing stock, misuse of business funds, false invoices, dishonest expenses and possible collusion involving employees, suppliers or contractors.

Breaches of Contract
We can investigate suspected breaches by current or former employees, including working for a competitor, approaching clients, diverting business or misusing confidential information.

Corporate Espionage and Information Leaks
Businesses may become concerned when competitors appear to know confidential pricing, tender details, client information or commercial plans.

We can investigate possible information leaks, insider activity and other warning signs of corporate espionage without assuming that wrongdoing has taken place.

Corporate Background Checks
Background checks and due diligence can help reduce risk before appointing a senior employee, entering a business partnership, making an investment or sharing sensitive information.

Bug Sweeping and Counter-Surveillance
Where there are concerns about listening devices, hidden cameras, trackers or covert monitoring, B25 can arrange professional bug sweeping for London offices, boardrooms, vehicles and other sensitive locations. You can also read our advice on when a London business should arrange a bug sweep.

Employee Surveillance in London

Discreet employee surveillance can help establish whether someone is acting inconsistently with information provided to their employer.

This may be relevant in cases involving:

Suspected fraudulent sickness absence
Unauthorised work for another business
Breaches of restrictive covenants
Misuse of company time or vehicles
Contact with clients or competitors
Undisclosed business activity

London surveillance can involve busy roads, public transport and movement between several boroughs. We will assess the likely movements of the subject and explain whether one or more investigators may be required.

Surveillance must have a legitimate purpose and be proportionate to the concern. Where disciplinary action may follow, businesses should also seek appropriate HR or employment-law advice.

What Can a Corporate Investigation Provide?

The evidence available will depend on the nature of the case and what is established.

A corporate or employee investigation may include:

Dated surveillance observations
Photographs or video footage
Background and open-source research
Checks into relevant business connections
Records of movements and activity
A clear written report
Updates during the investigation

We cannot guarantee that an investigation will confirm an initial suspicion. Our role is to gather and report the facts accurately and impartially.
