Some Competitors Will Try Anything

Corra is well aware of situations where there is no low to which a competitor with stoop to get the edge on you and your company. Some will lie, steal and certainly cheat, if they feel it will give them a leg up. Some will come at you claiming to be friends. Some will offer partnerships and co-venture opportunities.

This may sound a bit like a rant, but let’s face it, nearly all of us have been confronted at one time or another with unsavory business types. And then of course there are the network hackers and crackers who try to elevate themselves by destroying your company’s own hard work.

Surely, there are many out there who are honest and ethical, who offer proposals, partnerships and joint ventures because they legitimately see a mutual benefit. But then there are the other ones. Crusty souls who after they try to scam us leave us consoling ourselves with the eternal refrain, “karma will catch up with them, and they’ll get theirs in the end.”

Maybe. But then again, maybe not. So before you get involved on a business level, check them out. Check them out like you would any employment candidate. Check them out and then some. Run a criminal background check, and most certainly run our comprehensive background check. It will tell you quite a bit about past litigation, property ownerships and all sorts of useful information. Also, conduct a business profile. Corra offers one of the best in the industry. Just call us or email us; we would love to tell you all about it.

Remember, Check them out before you get involved.
