Exhibit A
Private Investigators work in Yonkers
Yonkers is the fourth largest city in New York State, and the private investigator work here follows the county courthouse, the family law firms and the businesses along Central Park Avenue and the waterfront. Westchester County licensing runs through the county clerk, and a good share of the searches come from people in the middle of a divorce, a custody matter or a workers compensation claim who are looking for someone local. The firms doing this work in Yonkers are mostly small owner operator shops rather than franchises, often one licensed investigator with a few contract people. Paid search in this trade is thin compared with the legal and insurance categories that sit next to it, which means the organic results carry most of the demand. The searches themselves are specific: people type the neighbourhood, the courthouse, the type of case. That is the demand available, and it is steady rather than seasonal.
