Media Search

This search is for a more in-depth background investigation for high profile or sensitive positions that reveals derogatory information about an individual or a company. It may be prudent to conduct further inquiries that are valuable, especially when records are difficult to verify or are supposedly non-existent. Many states prohibit the use of prior arrests not resulting in a conviction and unrelated criminal convictions to be considered.

Media searches will only check back two years worth of information unless otherwise indicated.

UCC Filings

This searches a repository of records of UCC and federal lien documents. Lien information on any person or business may be obtained from the UCC Section. Such information may be used to determine whether a lender would be interested in extending credit to the small business owner to, for example, provide capital for purchasing equipment or raw materials. The small business owner may, in turn, determine whether to extend credit to customers by taking a security interest in the finished product to be sold. Without the UCC Filings search, the lender or small business owner might be required to check county lien records in several counties in order to get a true financial picture of the person or business involved in the potential transaction.
