Overview

A database report is not a background investigation

Instant background reports pull from aggregated data that can be outdated, incomplete or attached to the wrong person. When the decision involves an executive, a board seat, a law-firm partner or a significant investment, that is not enough.

MAYN Investigations FL builds a verified profile from primary sources: court files, corporate filings, regulatory records, licensing boards, media and open-source research. We confirm identity first, then document what we find and where we found it, so counsel and decision-makers can rely on it.

Every assignment is scoped to the role, the risk and the decision in front of you. Call (321) 340-3280 to talk through what you need.

Scope

What an executive background investigation can cover

Scope depends on the role and the question. A typical executive or principal investigation can include:

Findings are tied to the source record, so your team can see what was verified and what still needs follow-up.

Research areas
  • Identity confirmation and name/address history
  • Civil, criminal and bankruptcy court records (state and federal)
  • Litigation history as plaintiff or defendant
  • Corporate filings, officer and director roles (Sunbiz and other states)
  • Undisclosed business interests and related entities
  • Regulatory and enforcement actions (SEC, FINRA, state agencies)
  • Professional license status and discipline
  • Verified education and employment claims
  • Media, adverse news and online reputation (OSINT)
  • Judgments, liens and UCC filings

We do not pull consumer credit reports, bank records or other restricted data without a lawful permissible purpose and the required authorization.

Who we serve

Background checks for high-stakes decisions

Most requests come from counsel or from leadership working with counsel. Typical engagements include:

01

C-suite and senior hires

CEO, CFO, COO and other senior candidates, where a résumé, a reference list and a quick report do not tell the whole story.

02

Board and advisory seats

Directors and advisors whose litigation history, outside business interests or regulatory record could affect the company.

03

Law-firm lateral partners

Lateral partner and senior hires, including verification of credentials and review of public disciplinary and litigation history.

04

PE, VC and investor due diligence

Founders, management teams and principals behind a target company, fund or deal counterparty.

05

Business partners and acquisitions

Prospective partners, buyers, sellers and key individuals in a merger, acquisition or joint venture.

06

Litigation and dispute matters

Background on parties, witnesses and decision-makers when the history of a person matters to the case.

Done lawfully

FCRA, DPPA and GLBA-aware from the start

Executive background investigations have to be done the right way, or the findings can create more risk than they remove. We plan each assignment with the applicable rules in mind and coordinate with your counsel on how the results will be used.

Information is gathered from public records, lawful commercial sources and open-source research. We do not pretext, hack accounts or record conversations without consent. See our guide to Bar Rule 4-5.3 and investigators for how attorney-directed investigations work.

The rules we work within
  • FCRA: when a report will be used for an employment decision, federal law generally requires a standalone disclosure and the candidate’s written authorization, and adverse-action notices if you act on it
  • DPPA: driver and motor-vehicle record information is used only for a permissible purpose
  • GLBA: no pretexting for bank or financial-account information
  • Chapter 493: work performed by a licensed Florida agency (A3400126)
  • Florida recording law (934.03): no recorded calls or interviews without all-party consent

Employment-screening obligations depend on how the report is used. Your employment counsel should confirm the disclosure, authorization and adverse-action steps for your situation.

FAQ

Executive Background Check FAQ

Straight answers to what attorneys, paralegals and clients ask before an assignment starts. For rates and availability, call (321) 340-3280.

How is this different from an online background check?

Online reports are aggregated data that can be outdated, incomplete or matched to the wrong person. We confirm identity, go to the primary sources (court files, corporate and regulatory records) and document where each finding came from.

Do we need the candidate’s consent?

If the report will be used for an employment decision, the Fair Credit Reporting Act generally requires a clear written disclosure and the candidate’s written authorization before the report is obtained, plus pre-adverse and adverse-action notices if you act on it.

For investor or transaction due diligence the rules can differ. We will discuss how the results will be used, and your counsel should confirm the requirements for your situation.

What do you not do?

We do not pretext for bank or financial records, access private accounts, pull credit reports without a permissible purpose and authorization, or record conversations without all-party consent. Everything we report can be traced to a lawful source.

How long does an executive background check take?

It depends on the scope, the number of jurisdictions and how many records must be pulled from courts or agencies. Call to discuss your deadline and we will tell you what is realistic before work begins.

Can you check principals in other states or countries?

Yes, we can scope research across multiple jurisdictions. Some records outside Florida take longer to obtain, and we will flag that during the scoping call.

Is the information confidential?

Yes. Assignments are handled discreetly and shared only with you and the people you designate. When counsel engages us, we work at counsel’s direction.
