Current situation of domestic operation of commercial investigation companies

There is no "business investigation" item in the management standard of enterprise registration business scope or national economic classification of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

There are few truly mature commercial investigation companies in China that provide services such as commercial investigation, risk control and anti-counterfeiting rights protection. The business investigation industry is still in its infancy in China, mainly because the awareness of business safety of domestic enterprises is still relatively weak, which leads to the lagging market development of business safety investigation and enterprise risk control. Most domestic enterprises often entrust commercial investigation companies to "remedy" when their interests are greatly threatened. However, the good opportunity has been lost, but they need to spend more manpower, material resources and financial resources to resolve and save it. Such enterprises lack the crisis consciousness of "nip in the bud" and think that "it is not too late to mend", which is an important reason for the late start and slow development of domestic commercial investigation.

Of course, the development of the investigation industry in China today is also related to lawyers' belief that the investigation industry is fighting for jobs, so it is generally excluded. In fact, the investigation and evidence collection services mainly operated by investigation companies do not conflict with lawyers' investigation and evidence collection, but can provide strong evidence for lawyers' litigation and help lawyers win the lawsuit. Because, in fact, the so-called investigation and evidence collection in the lawyer industry only stays in the superficial service of obtaining relevant documentary evidence. It is rare to see lawyers who really collect evidence for the parties enter the scene in China, and many lawyers pay little attention to some small and medium-sized companies' relatively small cases psychologically.

There are no more than 10 domestic investigation companies that are truly in line with international standards and provide foreign-related business investigation services for China enterprises and various investigation services for foreign-funded enterprises in China: Beijing Stiehl Business Investigation Service Co., Ltd., Beijing Woleke Business Investigation Consulting Co., Ltd., Beijing Tianchao Business Investigation Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Federal Business Investigation Co., Ltd. Many online advertising companies are business investigation companies, and most of them focus on private investigation services such as business consultation and even marriage intermediary.
