Frequently Asked Questions

  • The average turnaround time for a Commercial Investigations background check is one-and-a-half business days.

    At Commercial Investigations LLC, we will do everything in our power to turn around all background checks within three business days or less. Every inquiry is addressed daily and most two times a day.

  • Our Best Practices is a great place to begin any background investigation. Origin™ is a very robust and inclusive social security, address, and national criminal search. That, partnered with criminal and sex offender searches, makes for a great accumulation of key data.

    From there, individual organizational needs will determine the best searches to add to your package. Federal criminal, motor vehicle reports, and healthcare-related inquiries are among the most popular.

  • The cost of background checks varies depending on the needs of your organization. Some can be as low as $50 for a very minimal search, or hundreds of dollars for something more extensive. We are very sensitive to the needs of non-profit organizations and also consider volume pricing for many of our clients.

    If you would like to get an idea of how much a background investigation would cost based on your needs, please give us a call and one of our business development team members can customize a quote for you.

Hear What Our Clients Say

  • Best in NYS

    I was tasked with selecting a new background checking service, one who could provide impeccable customer service, quick turnaround time, potentially a cheaper solution (most organizations in NYS are running a statewide search through NYS OCA, which has a hefty $95 fee per search) Commercial Investigations offers a NY Cursory Indicator search which is MUCH CHEAPER.

    Furthermore, no initiation or set up fee, received access to their online portal within a couple of days, results come back within a couple of hours, they are LOCAL to NYS, based in Albany, NY, Women owned and operating since 2004!

    For those of you in HR or doing background checks, you know the costs, you know the mergers and acquisitions going on with these larger, global background checking services, you know their customer services isn't good, they are taking away dedicated reps, outsourcing their call centers, forcing you to pay upfront and discontinuing invoicing, and the list goes on.

    If you are in need of a new background checking service or are even interested in just exploring a different one, PLEASE contact Commercial Investigations. You won't be disappointed.
