Brian was awesome. I hired him to pull the data off a vehicle that was recently in a crash to determine if the airbags should have deployed. He met me at the impound lot, helped me with a cantankerous impound lot employee, took extensive photos of the car, and pulled the data. Had he stopped there, I would have been happy. Without prodding he looked up key data that made my next steps clear. Thanks Brian for over delivering! More...

For the price I expected more Quite dissatisfied with the results and performance All data I paid for I was able to get off people search dot com for free I regret going this route Couldn’t even get a phone number for the person I was searching for because there were “too many” common sense should say this should be included in the cost but it’s too much work I guess for the company to perform for what they charge. I will update adding another star if the address is supported for process service. 8/25/25*^ updated to four stars as service was able to be met using address found by CSI inc. one star short due to coming short via going above and beyond and getting me a phone number like I asked - instead I got excuses of “ too many “to figure out as a reason to not give me as much as possible on the person we were looking for. If no excuses were made and an above and beyond attempt for a phone number confirmation was produced with a good number it would have been 5 stars More...

I needed help getting court documents served for Family Court hearing and didn't have my Ex's home address. I was told from the court that I would need to hire a private investigator to find her and serve the paperwork. I was so concerned since I had no idea about the entire process. I found CSI on a Google search and they were local to me, so I called them. When I called they were very helpful and answered all my questions and put my concerns at ease. I was able to go in and meet the same day I called, amazingly they were also able to sever the documents the same day too! I got a call saying that they were waiting to approach her and I got a call shortly after they gave her the court documents. I'm extremely thankful I found CSI and all the support they gave throughout the day as is progressed. I highly recommend there services and would use them again in a heartbeat! More...

The BEST service hands down! I was rear-ended in May 2024 and since then, I have been trying to figure out how to get the information off of my car. (I have a 2016 Subaru and it stores information from 5sec to impact). After trying for months to get ahold of someone at Subaru that can actually give me ANY information on how to get this done, I FINALLY was given a number to call Bosch (super nice people). I spoke to 2 people at Bosch who then gave me the website to look up a business that was able to help me. That is how I found Covert. I called and left a voicemail. Within a few minutes, Brian had returned my call. We discussed a few things and due to our conflicting schedules, he drove to my house, after work, to get the reading done for me. He was extremely nice about everything and explained how the information is read in "laymen's terms". I will refer any and everyone to him. More...

Brian was very prompt and communicative. He produced a PDF file shortly after receiving the CRDx file from me. He took the time explaining the data and shared his opinions. His patience, knowledge and professionalism are so welcomed and appreciated. Thank you, Brian! More...

Success in locating missing person was achieved through surveillance of a Arizona residence and search of national vehicle databases. Brian Messenger's oral and written reports were thorough, accurate, and delivered within 24 hrs. Discreet service. I would highly recommend Covert . More...

Wow wow wow!! What wonderful and amazing service Covert Business Solution provided. I worked with Brian who was professional and provided exceptional customer service.
He provided me ongoing information throughout the investigation. He also provided a very detailed easy to read report with pictures and videos. As a result of the wonderful service Brian and his team provided, all of my questions were answered, which allowed me to dodge what could have been a very unhealthy relationship. When I initially looked into PI services, I researched and spoke with several company.
However after speaking with Brian, he explained in detail what services he would provide and cost. Since this was my first time using a PI services, I didn't know what to expect and I asked numerous questions. Brian was kind, patient and answered all my questions even the silly ones. Look, If you're looking for a good, fair and reasonably price PI service, look no further. Covert Business Solutions is your answer. You wont be disappointed. My experience deserves a 5 star rating

I won’t stop recommending the exceptional service I received from GHOSTSPYTECH@outlookcom. I requested the service of a professional private investigator to help in my infidelity and cheating case. Thanks to GHOSTSPYTECH@outlookcom I was able to monitor the activities of my now ex wife mobile device. It was a long shot but worth the risk and quite easier for me. Some of you may think it’s a bad thing to do to monitor your partner’s device but trust me you have no idea how this doubts messed with my sanity I am really excited I didn’t let my emotions control my reasoning. With the help of GHOSTSPYTECH I gained access to her text messages, calls and conversations, photos, her gps locations and other available apps I could lay my hands on. I knew what i was looking for was somewhere in there. Thanks To Heavenly father every one in the Boulevard witnessed this. I took legal actions immediately and I was able to keep the kids as well. They saved me from a lair and a manipulator. More...

I worked directly with Brian and had an incredible experience! I did not give him but two days notice of what I was trying to accomplish. Without hesitation he took on my case and was able to complete it by Friday of that same week. The information he provided me was not only extremely important but gave me peace of mind especially When a child is involved! I would highly recommend him without hesitation to anyone! Thank you Brian you are amazing!!!!! More...

After working with Brian I happily give him top rating, and I highly recommend him. I'm a very cautious person and Brian has checked all the boxes for me.

Paid a $1500 retainer after speaking with Brian who really made me feel at ease. I haven't heard from them yet but it's only been a few days. We didn't set up a contract other than an email summarizing the services we discussed so I'm a little nervous. I hope to give them a higher rating once I actually start getting results. More...

Why should our clients choose you?
What we call domestic investigations are sensitive and our clients are understandably in distress over their suspicions. We make our clients best-interest paramount and sometimes that means recommending that they not hire us and use the money to help them leave a bad situation.
Skip - Tracing - Witness Locate
Skip Traces/Locates is the art of locating the whereabouts of an individual such as birth parents/children, an old friend, a witness, a former employee or a person being sought in a legal action or someone who has fled to avoid payment of a debt or judgment.
Your un-locatable (or lost) witnesses usually fall into one of three categories, as follows:
- People who aren’t really “lost” or hiding at all, but might not be listed in the phone book and/or may have since moved from their last known address.
- People who are hiding, but not from you.
- People who are hiding – from you.
Service of Process
Service of Process is the serving (personal delivery) of various court documents, such as a civil complaint, summons or subpoenas. These court documents are most relevant in small claims, civil, divorce and family court case matters. Our Certified Process Servers pride themselves on being resourceful and finding creative solutions to serve even the most evasive subjects.
Surveillance - Sub Rosa
When conducting surveillance investigations, the methods, equipment, and personnel of Covert Business Solutions blend together experience and technology for maximum results. Our surveillance specialists are trained in the use of highly sensitive state-of-the-art video equipment which delivers 1080p quality. We have cameras capable of producing a HD quality video at great distances and when necessary, discrete covert video can be obtained from inside of public venues. We provide updates from the field as well as a detailed summary of each days activity. Once a case is completed, we provide you with a detailed report which summarizes the events, as well as provide a detailed accounting of the subjects activity with still photos or subjects, vehicles, residences and activity.
Asset Searches
Asset Searches are very similar to background investigations and employ a lot of the same investigative tactics and resources; however, they focus solely on a subject's financial history. This includes vehicle and property ownership, business ownership, adverse financial indicators such as judgments, liens, bankruptcies, foreclosures and evictions. These investigations are generally requested prior to a client investing money with a subject they just met, or after obtaining a judgement against a debtor in an effort to see what assets a subject has in preparation to filing any liens.
Background Investigation
Background investigations are the foundation of all of any investigations. At Covert Business Solutions, we regard Backgrounds Investigations to be among the most important investigations that can be conducted. A background investigation is an initial snapshot into a person(s) (or business) history and provides vital information such as financial stability, known associates, potential employers, owned businesses, owned property, criminal history, public records (bankruptcies, judgments and liens), as well as other valuable information.
