Conducting thorough background screening is a vital part of the employee lifecycle. Whether you’re hiring a full-time employee, contractor, or part-time temporary team member, it’s essential that your background checks deliver comprehensive, accurate, and compliant information. However, the process can become increasingly complex when background checks span international borders. That’s where Latin America Backgrounds (LAB) steps in with a distinct competitive edge.

With over three decades of experience in high-end corporate due diligence and investigative services throughout Latin America, our parent company has laid a solid foundation. LAB has harnessed this expertise and leveraged our extensive in-country presence across the region to create the premier background screening solution in Latin America.

Our team is strategically located across nine countries, ensuring that we work with highly qualified professionals who speak the language and understand the local culture—an advantage unmatched in the industry. Being on the ground in these regions grants our team better access to critical data sources, enabling them to deliver a more thorough and informed background screening solution. This local insight and access empower us to provide a level of service that sets us apart from the competition.

Our background checks can include:

• • Criminal Records: We only source our data directly from official government sources. Our in-country teams have decades of experience working in the region to ensure we access the most accurate, up-to-date, and complete information while maintaining compliance with all local regulations where applicable.

• • Corporate Affiliations: Sometimes referred to as Directorship checks, we research to determine if a person has any corporate affiliations that could pose a conflict of interest or other potential problems. We use our extensive experience doing high-level corporate investigations to provide the most complete data possible for this search. 

• •  Litigation checks, credit checks, employment and education verifications, global watchlist and sanction data, human intelligence, and any custom information required to fulfill clients’ needs.

In preparation for any business transaction, investment, takeover, or business partnership, our due diligence services provide comprehensive investigations on corporations, employees, directors, and officers to analyze and identify potential problems that allow clients to make informed decisions and mitigate risk. We gather intelligence and evaluate the economic and political dynamics around transactions and the integrity and reputation of individuals and commercial entities.

Over the past thirty years, we’ve developed an extensive network of resources and skilled investigative agents, enabling us to uncover intelligence that other agencies find hard to obtain and unobtainable.
