DUE DILIGENCE CHECKS: A PRE-INVESTIGATION NECESSITY
Surmount Investigations complete extensive due diligence checks before taking on any operation for any of our services so that we have the certainty and confidence that you are exactly who you say you are and that your request for us to complete an investigation and/or surveillance has a lawful basis or a legitimate purpose.

Probably one of the biggest misconceptions about the world of “investigation” is the whole thing of there always being that ‘smoking gun’ that the investigator finds right there at the scene, just being dropped at that exact moment by the guilty party… Job’s a good ‘un – we’re all heading home for an early finish on a Friday afternoon!
A client contacted us after seeing one of our Facebook posts. She had started up her own fitness studio in Newcastle and offered bespoke exercise classes, nutrition plans and physiotherapy support to her clients.
TV and film will always present private investigation as being headed up by a dysfunctional but brilliant PI with “issues” and the stereotypical trench-coat, dirty office and glass door with their name etched on it… doing whatever it takes to secure the leads needed to ‘break the case wide open’, etc. They’re breaking into places and stealing evidence whenever the need or the plot requires it.
