Skip Tracing
Locating absconding individuals, from debtors and guarantors to fraudsters, and confirming their whereabouts on the ground.
Who we locate
- Absconding borrowers and loan guarantors
- Fraudsters and absconding accused persons
- Missing counterparties and witnesses
- Untraceable directors and promoters
- Beneficiaries behind nominee identities
Locating people who do not want to be found, and confirming it on the ground. When registered addresses lead nowhere and phone numbers stop working, we map the individual's known associates and family, trace utility, property and digital footprints, cross-reference financial and travel touchpoints, and send trained field investigators to verify the location discreetly, so that counsel can finally effect proper service of process.

The golden rule
Nothing is reported until it has been independently corroborated. A single source is a lead, never a finding. Every finding is triangulated across independent sources and documented to withstand legal and regulatory scrutiny. That is what makes our intelligence usable in a boardroom, a negotiation or a courtroom.
How we engage
Discreet by design. Pretext identities and strict need-to-know handling ensure the subject never learns an enquiry is underway.
Lawful and ethical. We rely on open sources, lawful enquiry and legitimate field methods. No illegal access, ever.
Confidential handling. Strict data-privacy adherence (DPDP / GDPR), secure processing and anonymised, controlled reporting.
Flexible deliverables. Verbal briefings, red-flag alerts or full evidentiary dossiers, scoped to your objective and timeline.
