The guiding principles of Kurtz Detective Agency are professionalism, discretion and cost transparency. This is evidenced by numerous distinguished clients, including domestic and international detective agencies, several DAX-listed companies, international corporations, politicians, a major political party, former national football players, television personalities, public contracting authorities, educational institutions, insurance companies, law firms and many others.
In the service provider ranking of Wirtschaftswoche, a company of the Handelsblatt Publishing Group, Kurtz Detective Agency was awarded third place among investigative services throughout Germany. Its score of 77.22 was surpassed by only five companies across the other 24 evaluated sectors. Consequently, Kurtz Detective Agency achieved the eighth-best overall result among all 236 tested providers, outperforming companies such as Lufthansa, Sparkasse, BMW, DHL and many others.

Since 2016, Kurtz Detective Agency has actively supported the Neven Subotic Foundation. Why this particular organisation? Because every donated cent goes directly to those in need. All administrative costs are borne personally by the founder, Neven Subotic. Large organisations such as UNICEF, SOS Children’s Villages and others have, as of 2017, invested substantial sums in Google AdWords, among other expenditures. If you wish to donate 20 euros and click on an AdWords advertisement by UNICEF, depending on the keyword, UNICEF may incur costs amounting to 20 euros. Your donation would therefore ultimately benefit Google. This is a concept familiar to us from the detective industry, where it leads to significant cost burdens, which is why we do not participate in it. Our refusal to use AdWords is also one of the principal reasons for our comparatively moderate fees within the sector.
The Neven Subotic Foundation pursues a fundamentally different approach from many better-known charitable organisations. We will continue to support the foundation in this way in the future.
