For small businesses, every hire counts. The cost of one bad hire—whether it’s due to dishonesty, safety concerns, or compliance risks—can be significant. But many small business owners believe that background screening is expensive, complicated, or designed only for large corporations.
That’s where scalable screening packages from National Background Check, Inc. (NBCI) make a difference.
Whether you’re a startup hiring your first employee or an established small business building your team, NBCI offers flexible, cost-effective solutions to meet your hiring needs—without overloading your budget or your staff.
Why Background Screening Is Essential for Small Businesses
Small businesses face many of the same hiring risks as larger companies, including:
- Theft or fraud
- Workplace safety issues
- Negligent hiring liability
- Customer trust concerns
- Regulatory compliance
Background checks help reduce these risks and ensure that your next hire is qualified, reliable, and safe to represent your business.
What Are Scalable Screening Packages?
Scalable background screening means that you can choose services that match your hiring volume and budget, while still meeting legal and industry standards.
At NBCI, our scalable packages include:
- Pre-employment criminal background checks
- FBI and state fingerprinting services
- Drug testing (as needed)
- Education and employment verification
- DOT-compliant screenings for CDL drivers
- Custom packages by job type or risk level
You can start with just one background check and expand as your business grows.
