Whether you’re searching for hidden assets for a legal case or you’re an armchair investigator, Active Intel now offers a way for you to do your own asset search online from the comfort of your home.

What is an asset search?

An asset search is an investigation and a report of various types of records to determine a person’s or organization’s assets, including bank accounts, automobiles, property, businesses—even things like art, life insurance policies, trademarks, antiques, and patents.

An asset search can be conducted for many reasons, such as divorce, child support, civil litigation, or even just to see what assets you or someone else currently hold.

What is a DIY asset search?

A DIY asset search has the same goals as an asset search performed by a private investigator, the only difference is you have the flexibility to do it yourself and you’ll also save some money. Instead of a private investigator investigating your entire case, we’ll get it started and provide you with direct custom links for your specific search.

What information is provided in a DIY asset search?

For every DIY asset search, our private investigative team will provide you with preliminary research on your subject to get you started. If results are found for your subject, we’ll provide you with the following information:

  • Business and corporate holdings
  • Addresses
  • Known associates/family members
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Aircrafts
  • Intellectual property (trademarks, patents)

What information will I investigate in my DIY asset search?

In addition to the preliminary research on your subject, our investigative team will research and provide the custom links that they would use if conducting the same investigation. All links are specific to your research, official, and secure. Our team will provide you with customized links or documents to research:

  • Real estate/property ownership
  • Bank account search
  • Corporate ownership
  • Copyrights and web assets
  • Vehicles
  • Vessels/aircraft tracking
  • Judgments owed
  • Brokerage accounts
  • UCC, notes due, and receivables 
  • Asset class flow of formats spreadsheet for tracking
  • Third-party asset investigation step-by-step guide

What other options are available for an online asset search?

Every asset search investigation is different, depending on the circumstances and the desired outcome. A DIY asset search is an extremely valuable tool to search for assets online because it saves you time and money. In addition to the DIY asset search package, Active Intel has hundreds of hours of YouTube content that can help you through your online asset search. 

If your case doesn’t need as much information as a DIY asset search would provide, consider an electronic asset search to get the basics. Alternatively, depending on your case, Active Intel can provide you with a full-service investigation. In a full-service investigation, we’ll conduct all of the research on your subject, trace their assets, and deliver the full report with our findings and evidence.
