The need for international competition

The role of business investigation in international competition includes the following aspects:

(1) In terms of attracting investment

In the name of investment, it is not uncommon to find cases of fraud, and Steele has repeatedly accepted the commission of domestic companies to investigate the qualifications of their foreign partners, and the results of the investigation show that there are not a few frauds.Today, when China is carrying out the large-scale development of the western region，the precautionary significance in this regard is even greater.

(2) In terms of international trade

Limited to the majority of domestic import and export enterprises to use the form of payment is the letter of credit, and the international popular way of selling on credit, because domestic enterprises do not understand the situation of overseas enterprises, so they refuse a large number of trade in the form of credit sales, seriously affecting the development of import and export trade. A foreign-related business investigation will address this issue. When a credit report that has been investigated on the spot is submitted to a foreign trade enterprise, it is clear whether the business should be done or not. Therefore, the role of commercial investigation in promoting the development of international trade is very obvious.

Accumulation of experience and resources

Although China's business surveys started later than developed countries, it is not too late to integrate with international standards. In 1997, Steele joined the British Institute of Investigators, the world's oldest investigative association. Steele is a member of several world-renowned investigative societies in Chinese mainland. The members of the association often exchange experiences and achieve the exchange of information. For the annual meetings of these associations, Stier actively participates, and investigators from all over the world gather together to exchange work experience and discuss the current situation and development of withering investigations. Steele has also established a system of mutual visits with many international investigation agencies, and regularly visits each other's companies to achieve the purpose of exchanging and accumulating experience, and contributing to China's business investigation.

One of the development directions of business investigation - consultant

One of the future directions of business investigation is to closely integrate with business management. The business of business investigation is inseparable from the management of the enterprise, but it is generally entrusted on a case-by-case basis. In fact, the investigation is very important in the daily operation of the enterprise, and its importance is equal to that of the legal counsel and financial adviser of the enterprise;Corporate counsel is concerned with the legal issues of the enterprise.For example, legal opinions in litigation and other non-litigation cases, financial advisers are concerned with the issue of cost-effectiveness, while corporate business security consultants focus on enterprise risks: most of these risks come from outside the enterprise, and the responsibility of a business security consultant is to provide comprehensive and objective information for the decision-making level of the enterprise, and provide a basis for their decision-making. This information must be obtained through expert investigators, or if the company deems it necessary to obtain it through external sources. In general, the work of a business security consultant for a business includes the following:

①Helping businesses be transparent about their important business partners, the most common is to help companies establish credit systems for their customers，determine the amount of credit paid by the customer, conduct regular surveys, and adjust it according to the situation.

②Helping companies determine the risk level of major projects, especially major investment and cooperation projects.

③Assist companies in investigating the operation of investment targets or the management of branches.

④Help enterprises to manage personnel, such as the appointment of senior executives，external performance appraisal，stability testing, etc.;

⑤Investigation of the facts of damage, such as crisis affairs handling investigation, non-compete investigation, etc.

Consultant-type investigation work is the best embodiment of business investigation experts, such as: an overseas trade business activity, the financial adviser determines, whether the factory trade is carried out according to the current financial situation, and how much benefit will be made after the transaction: the legal counsel determines whether the contractual relationship between the two parties has been established, whether the content of the contract is unfavorable to the enterprise, and the business security consultant will determine whether the trading counterparty has credit risk and whether the other party has the ability to perform the contract.
