Business Description:
The Company is a public records research and document retrieval business specializing in providing immediate access to all county, state and federal agencies as well as providing in-person access to court documents throughout the United States. The Company provides a range of services specializing in Civil and Criminal Index Research, Bankruptcy Research, UCC Research and Filings, Tax Lien and Judgment Searches, Fictitious Business Name Search and Filings, Real Property Searches and Corporate Research. The Company provides a wide variety of public records; however, it focuses on offering immediate access to court files and records through its proprietary network of vendors located throughout the United States who are familiar with the peculiarities of each courthouse and its case files. This enables the Company to provide same day service at no extra charge. Reason For Selling: The Company’s principals started this business almost 17 years ago when they were each single and without any other commitments. Today, they are both married with children and desire to focus their time and energy raising their children and spending more time with their respective families.
Potential for Growth: The Company operates in essentially a unique market niche and is able to pursue a favorable business strategy targeted toward obtaining large corporate clients (for example, franchisor clients which require a specific package or report before it accepts a franchisee into its system or brokerage firms which maintain a high standard for applicants seeking to market their investment products) which have specific needs and want to ensure that they have access to "everything." Thus, although there are many online competitors, the Company is able to effectively compete by targeting its services directly to its loyal customer base, keeping prices competitive, offering superior service and a comprehensive product, and building additional business through it excellent reputation for customer service and resultant referrals. The Company is known for its many years of experience and superior research and retrieval capabilities.
