PIP2 accredited due diligence reports, director background checks, and open-source intelligence for solicitors, law firms, and insolvency practitioners across the United Kingdom. Not a private investigation agency — exclusively legal and commercial intelligence, produced to the same standard applied in serious and complex criminal investigations.
Aesiron Investigations was founded by a PIP2 accredited investigator with nine years of serious and complex criminal investigation experience. We bridge the gap between the investigative expertise of law enforcement and the intelligence needs of legal professionals and businesses across the UK.
Every due diligence report and background check we produce is signed off by an accredited investigator — not a paralegal, not an analyst, not an algorithm. When our findings are relied upon, our professional background stands behind them.
We work exclusively with solicitors, law firms, insolvency practitioners, and commercial clients who require professional intelligence research conducted to an investigative standard.
Every instruction is approached with the same methodical rigour applied to serious criminal investigations — systematic, thorough, and evidenced.
All enquiries and reports are handled in strict confidence. We never disclose client details or the existence of any instruction.
Most due diligence reports delivered within 48 to 72 hours of instruction. Legal and commercial decisions cannot wait — neither can we.
You will know the full cost before we begin. No hourly billing, no hidden fees, no retainer required to access our services.
Structured, evidenced intelligence reports for solicitors, law firms, and insolvency practitioners who need to know exactly who they are dealing with — before it matters. Every service is fixed cost, delivered within 48–72 hours, and produced to PIP2 investigative standard.
A structured, multi-source investigation into an individual or company. We draw on Companies House filings, financial history, court data, insolvency and bankruptcy registers, CCJ searches, Land Registry records, regulatory databases, and open-source intelligence. The result is a professionally structured report suitable for use in legal proceedings — not a database printout. Essential before signing contracts, committing to transactions, or accepting new clients.
Before issuing civil proceedings, understand the financial position, asset holdings, and corporate history of the opposing party. We help litigation solicitors assess the merits of pursuit — whether a defendant has reachable assets, whether connected entities are involved, and what recovery may realistically look like. Avoid expensive litigation against a judgment-proof shell.
A focused investigation into the history of a company director or business principal. We identify dissolved and struck-off companies, director disqualifications, adverse financial history, insolvency involvement, CCJs, and reputational red flags that do not appear in a standard Companies House search. Essential due diligence before any commercial relationship, litigation, or insolvency appointment.
An assessment of indicators of fraudulent or dishonest conduct. Drawing on nine years of serious and organised crime investigation experience — including complex financial fraud — we identify the warning signs that others miss: concealed connected parties, phoenixing patterns, unexplained asset positions, and corporate structures designed to obscure liability.
Investigation into the known assets, property holdings, and financial indicators associated with a subject. Covering Land Registry title searches, registered charges, CCJ history, insolvency filings, and corporate asset indicators. Used by creditors, litigation teams, and insolvency practitioners to identify reachable assets before or during proceedings.
Structured research support for insolvency practitioners conducting director conduct investigations under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 and Insolvency Act 1986. We produce background reports on directors of insolvent companies covering associated and connected companies, financial history, antecedent transactions, asset disposals, and reputational intelligence. Our reports support Section 7 reporting obligations and assist practitioners in identifying wrongful trading, misfeasance, and fraudulent conduct indicators.
Every report produced and signed off by a PIP2 accredited investigator. PIP2 is the national policing accreditation standard applied to investigators handling serious and complex criminal cases — homicide, organised crime, and major fraud. That standard, and the rigour behind it, is applied to every Aesiron instruction.
Most due diligence reports delivered within 48 to 72 hours. We understand legal and commercial decisions often cannot wait and structure our process accordingly.
No hourly billing. No hidden fees. You will know the full cost before we begin. Outsourcing intelligence research to Aesiron costs a fraction of the partner or fee-earner time required to conduct it in-house — and removes the professional liability of a solicitor conducting investigations outside their lane. Search disbursements such as Land Registry and CCJ fees are advised in advance.
All research conducted using open-source intelligence in full compliance with UK law, the Data Protection Act 2018, and UK GDPR. No covert techniques, surveillance, or restricted databases. Our methods are fully transparent and defensible — every source is logged in the report methodology.
Instruct us when you need us. No ongoing commitment, no minimum spend, no retainer required to access our professional intelligence services.
Reports structured, evidenced, and produced to an investigative standard — suitable for use in legal proceedings and credible enough to withstand scrutiny. Every report includes an executive summary, structured findings, a key findings table, risk conclusions, full source methodology, and a professional sign-off. This is not a database printout. It is an intelligence product.
Aesiron is not a private investigation agency. We conduct no surveillance, matrimonial, or insurance work. Every instruction we take is legal or commercial. That singular focus means our product is built entirely around the needs of solicitors and insolvency practitioners — not adapted from a consumer PI service.
A due diligence report is a thorough background investigation into an individual or company. It draws on Companies House records, financial history, court data, insolvency and bankruptcy registers, CCJ searches, Land Registry, and open-source intelligence. The result is a structured written report giving a clear, evidenced picture of who you are dealing with before you commit to a contract, transaction, or legal action.
Most reports are delivered within 48 to 72 hours of instruction. For more complex instructions involving multiple subjects or companies we will advise on timing upfront. We work to your timescales wherever possible.
We operate on a fixed cost basis — you will know exactly what you are paying before we begin. Pricing depends on the complexity of the instruction and the number of subjects involved. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and we will provide a fixed quote with no obligation.
All research is conducted exclusively using lawful open-source intelligence (OSINT) methods. This includes Companies House, HM Land Registry, the Insolvency Service register, the Register of Judgments (TrustOnline), FCA and regulatory registers, the Disqualified Directors register, open media and press databases, social media platforms, and court records. Every source used is logged in the methodology section of your report, making our findings fully transparent and auditable. No covert techniques, surveillance, or unlawfully obtained information are ever used.
No. You can instruct Aesiron Investigations on a per-case basis with no retainer, no minimum spend, and no ongoing commitment required. Simply contact us with details of your instruction and we will provide a fixed quote.
Yes. Our reports are structured, evidenced, and produced to a PIP2 accredited investigative standard. Every report includes an executive summary, structured findings sections, a key findings and risk table, conclusions, a full source methodology log, and a professional sign-off. Reports can be relied upon in legal proceedings where required, and are formatted to sit cleanly on a legal file. We recommend instructing legal counsel to advise on any specific evidential requirements for your matter.
Aesiron is not a private investigation agency. We conduct no surveillance, matrimonial, or insurance work. Every instruction we accept is from a solicitor, law firm, insolvency practitioner, or commercial client requiring structured intelligence research. Our founder holds PIP2 accreditation — the national standard applied to serious criminal investigations — and every report is produced to that standard. Our reports are built to sit on a legal file, not to hand to a client at the end of a watching brief.
Yes. We work directly with licensed insolvency practitioners as a research support service. Our insolvency support reports cover director conduct investigations, associated and connected company histories, antecedent transactions, asset disposals, financial history, and connected persons — structured to support Section 7 reporting obligations under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986. We understand the language and obligations of insolvency appointments and produce reports that integrate directly into your workflow.
We operate across the whole of the United Kingdom. Our primary client base is in the West Midlands — Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, and the wider Midlands region — with instructions accepted from solicitors and insolvency practitioners nationwide. As our research is conducted using open-source intelligence methods, geography is no barrier to instruction.
We provide a redacted sample due diligence report so you can assess the quality, structure, and professional standard of our work before making any commitment. See how our reports are structured, how findings are presented, and how they sit on a legal file — before you instruct us.
We welcome enquiries from solicitors, law firms, insolvency practitioners, and commercial clients across the UK. All enquiries are handled in strict confidence and without obligation.
