There are many different reasons that individuals and businesses hire private investigators, and inevitably one of the first questions that come up is; how do private investigators get paid?
If you’re talking cash, credit card or EFT, all three will do, on average, but that’s not what we’re talking about here today.
We’re going to be looking at how costs for investigations are structured in general, since each case is different to the next, requiring different tactics and amounts of time.
Getting evidence on a cheating spouse is generally relatively easy, provided you hire the number one cheating spouse detective in South Africa, which is King Investigators!
In a case like this, it generally takes a bit of surveillance, which would include video and photos, and since King Investigators are surveillance experts, it doesn’t take them too long to produce results without charging you a fortune.
How do private investigators get paid?
There are a few factors involved in private investigations that have an impact on what the investigation will cost, and, like lawyers, some private investigators may charge you a retainer fee, once the contract is signed and the fee is settled.
You might also be charged an hourly rate, which could vary, depending on whether more than one investigator is needed on the case, as well as on the extent of difficulty involved in the investigation.
There is a chance that when it comes to what PI’s view as basic services, such as polygraph testing, background checks or a criminal record checks, amongst other services like these, you may be charged a flat rate.
There are private investigators who won’t hesitate to charge you for the initial consultation, and may even have the cheek to get you to pay a retainer fee, before they even get to meet you.
