The private investigations industry covers both investigations for individuals and corporate clients, which make up the bulk of revenue. A weakening trend in M&A activity has led to a slump in demand for corporate investigations in Europe. Companies usually hire corporate investigators to conduct due diligence prior to a potential merger or acquisition. However, from 2019 to 2023, M&A activity in Europe slumped, which is attributed to high interest rates in the UK and Eurozone, making it difficult for companies to fund high-value deals.
