Do I need a license to advertise as a skip tracer?

hi there,

there no real classification of "skip tracer". skip tracing tracking down of debtors various means , conducted private investigators , collection agents.

unfortunately, skip tracing requires sort of investigative work , require investigative techniques. need access databases , sources of information require licensed private investigator dealing private information such social security numbers , dates of birth.

in wisconsin, licensing board private investigators is:

department of regulation & licensing
p.o. box 8935
madison, wi 53708
(608) 266-0829

website is: http://drl.wi.gov/prof/pria/index.asp

now, 1 alternative route might able take become collection agent. of collection agent's work consists of skip tracing. however, in wisconsin, fee start collection agency $1,200.00.

problem have, though don't advertise private investigator, licensed private investigators in area see encroaching on business. private investigators kind of skip tracing work , if see operating without license they'll report you.

1 idea find local investigator license , have access databases, insurance, licensing, etc. work out deal him explain plan skip tracing business , offer cut of him access data. it's win-win set business quickly, , gets make little money wasn't making before. many private investigators not idea (small minded) keep calling around , find 1 partner you. they're out there.

best of luck you, hope business going!

if wanted offer services skip tracer, need sort of licensing in wisconsin? not want advertise private investigator, skip tracer.
