Whether you are trying to find a missing person, track down a former employee, locate a debtor, or reconnect with someone who has dropped off the radar, a professional locate investigation can be the difference between answers and frustration.

At National Business Investigations, Inc. (NBI), we have spent decades helping clients find the people they need to reach. With experience, lawful methods, and access to powerful investigative tools, we uncover information that most individuals and businesses simply cannot find on their own.

What Is a Locate Investigation?

A locate is a specialized investigation used to find individuals whose whereabouts are unknown or intentionally concealed. This can include everything from basic address verification to complex searches involving multiple data sources and fieldwork.

Professional locates typically involve:

• Database research
• Public record searches
• Social media analysis
• Contacting known associates
• Field investigations when necessary

Locate work is highly detailed and requires skill, patience, and the ability to separate reliable information from misleading or outdated data.

When Locates Are Needed

People hire investigators for locates in a wide variety of situations. Some of the most common include:

1. Missing or hard-to-find persons
This includes individuals who have moved without notice, intentionally disappeared, or cannot be contacted through normal means.

2. Debtors or individuals avoiding payment
PIs help locate people who owe money, have defaulted on loans, or have skipped out on financial obligations.

3. Former employees or witnesses
Businesses and attorneys often need help tracking down past staff members or witnesses who have information vital to a case.

4. Biological family searches
Locate services can assist those searching for birth parents, siblings, or extended family members.

5. Individuals tied to legal matters
Attorneys rely on accurate locates for service of process, legal notices, and testimony.
