I ve tried the internet and there is nothing and I mean nothing on them on the internet , and that is sending up red flags for me . Now i found this job through a head hunter and Im wondering how well they know of this business and I know the head hunter does not do anything in regards to checking the reputation of the company , they are located out of state and they dont have a regional office is that a red flag ??? I mean I dont want the feds at my door or get involved in something illegal or scammers either ....I just dont know what to do about this nor do I know how to go about checking on them like I said I have been looking on the internet and there is nothing absoloutly nothing on them ....I need help and thanks in advance for any help or suggestions .
If there is NOTHING on the internet that is a very big flag. Try searching their name along with the word complaints.
I work for 2 companies both based out of state with no regional offices so that in itself is not a red flag to me. I have actually never met in person, on of my bosses.
I would definitely see it as a red flag. Have you mentioned your concerns to the headhunter? Perhaps they operate under one name but are incorporated under another?
well so far I have found out that a business does not need a business license to operate in the city of houston or the state of texas ....they have 8 complaints against them by people not sure what kind of complaints because I cant read them . I just dont know what to do at this point ...im trying to do the research I normally do and there are roadblocks everywhere ... good to know though so I wont move to tx that you dont have to have a business license I mean . anyways if any of you have any more ideas please let me know cause Im at my wits end now as to what to do . thanks
Can you contact the state's department that handles business registrations and licenses? See if they have any record of these people.
Good idea and if you are math oriented try and get their financial or sales report, if they are public.
Also look at industry reports from consultants like Deloitte. For example, I have applied at some large telco companies and reports from consulting firms say this a declining industry as wireless gets better.

Well since we have an LLC for my wife's biz I would start by calling the Sec of State or whomever handles corporations and incoporations and find out if they are in good standing, check with BBB to see if they have complaints, check glassdoor.com and see what others say.
If a co. is public they have to report a quarterly and yearly financial statement. If you know how to read one you can glean the health of the company.
If you can't find anything at all after doing all this then I would tell them I am a professional and I like to research companies I do biz with can you direct me. If they say no I would run.
