Due Diligence Investigation Across Massachusetts
A due diligence investigation checks a person or business against the facts before you sign a deal, hire an executive, take on a business partner, or make a major investment — litigation history, liens and judgments, business registration status, past bankruptcies, and reputation issues that don’t show up in a standard financial statement.
This is research work built on public records and open-source information, not surveillance or covert tactics — corporate filings with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth, court dockets, property and UCC lien records, and media coverage. We deliver findings as a clear report your attorney or deal team can act on, not a stack of raw documents.

Scoped to What You’re Actually Deciding
Due diligence can run as deep as you want it to, so we start by understanding what’s actually at stake — a small vendor contract needs a lighter check than a major acquisition or a new business partnership where you’re personally exposed. We’ll scope the work to the decision in front of you rather than running every possible search by default.

Common Questions
How long does a due diligence check typically take? A standard business or individual check usually runs a few business days; a deeper multi-entity or cross-jurisdiction review takes longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline up front.
Can this replace my attorney’s own due diligence? No — we provide the factual research; your attorney and deal team make the legal and business judgment calls on top of it.
Due diligence research is conducted under the same Massachusetts private investigator licensing requirements that govern all of Hub’s investigative work, and the deliverable is built so decision-makers can see exactly what was checked and what the sources were, not just a bottom-line recommendation.
Due diligence research typically covers business registration status, professional licensing, civil and criminal court history, property and lien records, and publicly available media coverage — the specific scope is set with the client up front based on what the relationship or transaction actually requires.
