What Comfirm Choice does

Confirm Choice is an international, licensed investigative company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 2009 as a private LLC. The firm delivers background-screening and pre-employment due-diligence services, with product lines spanning criminal and civil court searches, drug screening, employment and education verifications, tenant screening, and healthcare-specific exclusion checks via FACIS. Operations are anchored in a web-based client portal (bgsecured.com) where customers order, track, and retrieve results, supported by data partnerships with TransUnion (credit), i3Screen (drug screening), and Verisys (FACIS), plus international coverage across jurisdictions including Canada, China, Germany, and France.

The platform is built around a centralized order-management workflow backed by integrations with multiple third-party data providers rather than proprietary in-house risk-modeling infrastructure. International screening depth has been actively expanded, notably through the Global Security Search product, which aggregates data from 1,000+ international sources. A recent integration with Opusuna extends the offering toward behavioral assessment, indicating a directional shift from purely records-based checks toward behavior- and fit-oriented screening products. No public API is offered.

Revenue mechanics are transaction-based: customers pay per search, with customized package pricing for volume buyers and distinct product lines serving employers, landlords, healthcare organizations, and financial-services firms. The business model is fundamentally a low-margin aggregation-and-resell model whose economics are governed by data-provider costs, turnaround-time commitments (the company advertises a 72-hour standard turnaround), and the ability to cross-sell additional screening products into existing accounts. The competitive position is that of a credentialed (PBSA-member), long-tenured mid-tier provider in a highly fragmented category, with limited brand recognition outside its immediate customer base.
