Normally, all searches start with a basic scan of our systems, which we define as our Global Scan^®. This search permits us to cite the costs for obtaining all other information within each "information corridor" that may be identified during the initial scan. It also enables the ultimate client to maintain control of the scope, direction, and cost of a more extensive investigation. Each proposed search item is listed at the end of initial report.

ICI cites a specific charge for each Global Scan^® ordered. The prices range depending on many variables such as the country involved, the turnaround time, and the number of people being searched. Call us for an exact quote which includes all downloads, research, analysis, report preparation, delivery and telephone consultation.

ICI also does many types of in-depth cross-border scans on corporations and organizations. Like Global Scan^® on people, the prices vary. Each Global Scan^® must start with a formal proposal which is done at no cost to the client.

We need some essential details from counsel, such as a name, address or phone number. Based upon this information alone, we will provide you an the exact cost to do the Global Scan^®, the turnaround time, approximate length of the report and what information is available.

In essence, our clients present us with a fact scenario problem and we provide an array of proposed solutions. Our on-line databases and human assets are used to implement those solutions. Most Global Scan^® concentrate on the following general categories:

• Banking, financial and credit relationships, including addresses and names of institutions. This search does not include account numbers, balances, or personal account information which must be obtained through other legal means, such as court process.


• Real estate holdings, real estate trusts, and real property conveyances.


• Corporate affiliations, executive associations and self-confessed employment


• Litigation, including criminal arrests in their area of residence.


• Newspaper, magazine, trade journal, wire service reports.


• Known associates, family members and close friends that may be used to transfer or convey assets.


• Identification of trade creditors, credit card companies, utility companies banks, or other entities that the target would be paying with some type of instrument. These searches do not include identification of the bank that a check is drawn upon, or the account number, just the bill that is being paid.


• Identification of telephone numbers, cellular numbers, and mobile telephone numbers; together with long distance carriers. This search does not include a detail of the numbers dialed, or the subscribers to the numbers dialed, which can only be obtained through other legal means, such as court process, etc.
