In cases where the client gains profit based on the investigation (e.g. successful debt recovery), an award of 20% of the gained value may be requested. Results-based billing is also possible when the outcome justifies a higher fee.

A signed contract and appropriate authorisation are required before any investigation begins.

NOTE: The private investigator is bound by professional secrecy and the Personal Data Protection Act. The client may use the obtained data and information exclusively for the purpose for which it was collected.
