Some of the main reasons or purposes for performing background investigations include:

• When Hiring Employees: Companies have a responsibility to other employees and shareholders to know who they are hiring. Therefore, employment screening background checks are more common than ever. A thorough civil and criminal background investigation is a quick and inexpensive way for human resource departments to take the guesswork out of hiring.
• When Accepting New Tenants: Landlords and apartment rental companies find it important to know just who is living on their property. Therefore, they will conduct civil and criminal background investigations before accepting an application from a new tenant. This tenant screening process will allow landlords to protect themselves and other tenants.
• During Due Diligence: When buying a business or investing in part of a business, one should always complete a thorough background investigation of the person or people selling the business or on the corporation itself. In this situation, background investigations can help protect the investment and the investors.
• During Litigation: During both civil and criminal lawsuits, an attorney can use information obtained from background investigations to attack the credibility and truthfulness of witnesses, defendants, and other individuals.
• For Child Protection: It is typically a good idea to conduct criminal background investigations whenever children are involved. This can include investigating a child's caregiver as well as suspicious neighbors that live nearby. These background investigations can help a parent find the information they need to protect their child.
• During a New Relationship: As people are using online dating sites more frequently to meet others, it is also becoming more popular for individuals to request background investigations on those they have recently met and began dating. Individuals will also often request a background check when relationships move from dating to marriage in order to protect themselves emotionally and financially from being taken advantage of by the other person.
