← Back to: what does a detective agency cost?
Companies hire a detective agency when objective facts are needed to manage risks, mitigate damages or legally support decisions. The cost of corporate investigations depends on the nature of the investigation, the expertise required and the method chosen. The hourly rate starts from €99.50 excl. VAT.
When do companies hire a detective agency?
Common leads include sick leave with suspected abuse, housing fraud, internal theft, integrity issues and violation of agreements or regulations. In these situations, objective and carefully recorded evidence is essential, such as for HR, legal advice or litigation.
Our working method for companies
What determines the cost in corporate investigations?
The total cost depends primarily on the complexity of the case, the predictability of behavioral patterns, the number of deployments, and the expertise required. A highly prepared case file with digital investigation and possible preliminary exploration usually makes the investigation more efficient and can reduce the number of hours required.
Practice
Sick leave survey
A healthcare organisation had a labour dispute with an employee and received signals that they might be working for another organisation. Multi-day surveillance objectively documented this, with findings used in the further assessment of the dispute.
Residential fraud investigation
A housing corporation suspected that a social housing unit was being sublet without permission. Investigation into the actual living pattern provided objective grounds for the corporation's next steps.
Non-compete clause investigation
A business owner suspected that a former business partner was working for a business relation in breach of a non-compete clause. Observations on separate, non-consecutive occasions objectively documented the former partner's presence at the business location, supporting the legal assessment of the clause.
