The guiding principles of Kurtz Investigations are professionalism, discretion, and cost transparency. Numerous distinguished clients attest to this, including both domestic and international detective agencies, several DAX-listed companies, international corporations, politicians, a major political party, former national football players, TV personalities, public-sector clients, educational institutions, insurance companies, law firms, and many others.
In the service provider ranking of Wirtschaftswoche, part of the Handelsblatt publishing group, Kurtz Investigations was recognised as the third-best investigative service in all of Germany. A score of 77.22 was only surpassed in the other 24 evaluated sectors by five companies. Kurtz Investigations thus achieved the eighth-best overall result among 236 tested providers, outperforming companies such as Lufthansa, Sparkasse, BMW, DHL, and many others by a significant margin.

Since 2016, Kurtz Investigations has actively supported the Neven Subotic Stiftung. Why this organisation in particular? Because every donated cent goes directly to those in need. All administrative costs are personally covered by the founder, Neven Subotic. Large organisations like UNICEF or SOS Children’s Villages, as of 2017, spend enormous amounts on Google AdWords. For example, if you donate 20 euros and click on a UNICEF AdWords ad, UNICEF may effectively pay Google the full 20 euros depending on the keyword. Your donation ends up with Google rather than directly with the intended recipients. This approach, familiar from the detective industry, can create significant costs, which is why we do not participate. This avoidance of AdWords is also one of the key reasons for our comparatively moderate fees within the sector.
The Neven Subotic Stiftung follows a very different approach from many well-known aid organisations. We strive to support the foundation in this manner, and this commitment will remain unchanged in the future.
