    Background Investigation (FCRA)

    Corporate Theft

    When you’re trying to run a business, nothing affects the bottom line more than in-house theft. Employee theft is not a question of if but how often and how much.

    • 95% of all businesses have experienced employee theft.
    • 30% of employee theft is from falsely reported time worked.
    • Nearly 40% (37.5%) of employees have stolen from their employer.

    Whether it’s actual property or abuse of time, MG&A is always on the side of legitimate business owners. We can investigate, observe, and gather the information you need to catch those responsible and make a case.

    Intellectual Property / Trade Secret Protection

    Intellectual property theft involves robbing people or companies of their ideas, inventions, and creative expressions—known as “intellectual property”—which can include everything from trade secrets and proprietary products and parts to movies, music, and software. (https://www.fbi.gov)

    Detecting the theft of Intellectual Property is becoming increasingly difficult with each new generation of smart devices. MG&A has experts that understand the latest technologies and how they work. Utilizing the latest technologies available, we can perform “sweeps” of offices and electronic devices to provide you with recommendations on the best ways to defend yourself from corporate thieves. We put a stop to security breaches of your business environment.

    Partnership Due Diligence

    Partnerships can be a business venture’s best friend. It can also be the most difficult, especially if you don’t know the proposed partner’s past. MG&A can do background checks in a far more in-depth way than just a computer run. Our “hands-on” approach means that we are talking to people, reading reviews, talking to known associates and previous partners, visiting various locations, and talking to investors. At MG&A, we leave no rock unturned.

    Asset Tracking

    Everyone wants to be treated fairly, especially when it comes to business ventures. However, that isn’t always the case and MG&A knows this better than anyone. Whether it’s a business partner or employee that you suspect of money laundering or other duplicitous activity we know how to find it. When partnerships end, all parties involved should walk away with their fair share. MG&A utilizes human, technological, and electronic measures to ensure that all assets are accounted for so that no one is left in the dark.
