While you primarily work for corporations, you may also work for individuals. Businesses that offer corporate investigation services specialize in a variety of niches such as credit, criminal history, and background checks. Financial companies often request an investigation into insurance problems, SEC filing history. If you choose this niche, a CPA certification is preferred.
