Why it matters

When something feels wrong in your business, guessing is expensive

Verifying a prospective partner’s claims, suspected employee dishonesty, a supplier’s real operating status, or tracing the source of a leak — commercial risk spans a wide range. Acting on suspicion alone is risky; ignoring it is worse. Privateye gives you verified facts, discreetly gathered, so decisions rest on evidence — not office rumour.

Scope of work

What we help with

Employee misconduct & moonlighting

Due diligence & background checks

Vet partners, hires, suppliers and counterparties before you commit.

IP leaks & competitor activity

Our process

How the investigation is carried out

01

Confidential consultation

We listen to your situation in full confidence, without judgement, and advise on what’s realistic — obligation-free.

02

Assessment & planning

We scope the objective and the discreet, lawful methods that fit your case, so you know exactly what to expect.

03

Discreet fieldwork

Our investigators gather evidence quietly through proven, lawful covert techniques — keeping you updated as things develop.

04

Clear evidence & reporting

You receive organised, timestamped documentation and a plain-English report: the facts you need to decide your next step.

Regulatory source: The Singapore Police Force states that agencies supplying private-investigator services require a Private Investigation Agency licence, and deployed investigators must meet applicable licensing and training conditions. Read the SPF licensing requirements.

What you receive

Reporting for management and legal teams

Reports are structured for use by management, boards, or legal counsel, with a clear chronology and supporting documentation.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

These answers cover the practical questions clients most often ask before engaging a private investigator in Singapore. The right scope always depends on the facts of the individual case.

Can this be kept confidential from our staff?

Absolutely. Enquiries are handled discreetly and only those you choose need ever know an investigation took place.

Is employee investigation legal?

Yes, within the bounds of Singapore employment and privacy law. Privateye advises on what is and isn’t permissible during the initial consultation.

Do you handle due diligence on companies outside Singapore?

Privateye can coordinate cross-border checks through vetted partners, though the core strength is Singapore-based verification and surveillance.

How is pricing determined for commercial cases?

Commercial cases vary widely in scope, so fees are quoted after understanding the objectives and complexity involved — there is no fixed package price.
