The Nationwide Accreditation Bureau (NAB), which carries out security checks on employees on behalf of businesses, has received £250,000 of investment.
The company, which was founded in 2005, has been backed by The South East Growth Fund (SEGF) in order to continue its expansion.
NAB is one of the main suppliers of security checking to the healthcare market and other highly regulated markets.
It has also recently won contracts for the accreditation of temporary and permanent workers in both leisure and car parking industries.
The company uses bespoke software to ensure candidates clearances are up to standard.
NAB also provides online mandatory training as well as industry specific compliance checks.
Karen Richardson, chief executive of NAB, said: “NAB is delighted that SEGF have invested in the development of the business and we will benefit hugely from the advice and expertise that SEGF brings to the table.
“The backing of SEGF confirms our belief that the background checking of potential employees is a fast growing demand of which NAB is perfectly poised to take advantage.”
