Indianapolis, Indiana, July 19th, 2005 – PropertyThree Technology Group (P3TG) today announced the launch of the Allied Partner Agent Program (APAP). This program allows new and existing businesses to enter the background screening industry without huge capital and technology investments. The launch is in response to the overwhelming demand from entrepreneurs seeking a partner agent program with Allied Credit Systems to break into the background screening industry.

This rare business opportunity allows entrepreneurs across the country to be established in the background screening industry, one of the fastest growing in the nation. “We are basically giving agents wholesale prices that they can mark-up to over 150% and still be under our industry competition.” said Amanda Maramba, VP of Operations at PropertyThree Technology Group. “Because of our advanced technology platform, there are no requirements for manual handling of requests. All customer service, account setup, and order fulfillment is handled at our customer service center in Indianapolis. This gives the agent a huge opportunity to focus on the sales and marketing of the background services; as a result, there are less costs for the agent.”

The APAP agent will be able to serve several different markets including the ever-growing employment screening market, tenant screening, healthcare industry, international reports, U.S. Patriot Act Compliance, and public records searches. By so doing, the agent will be able to offer a wide array of products including background checks, criminal records searches, credit reports, driving records, tenant screening reports, FBI/OFAC/UN terrorist and designated person reports. Ongoing security concerns in and around the workplace have prompted an explosive demand for background screening by companies. Successful APAP agents can expect to generate phenomenal revenues. According to statistics in 1999 employers lost over 60% to negligent hiring, in the US, on average, at least half of new hires do not work out; average award in workplace violence lawsuits exceeds $1 million per case.

The total cost for the program is a mere $399 application fee required for the documentation and paraphernalia like business cards and brochures. In order to establish a solid business model, Allied Credit Systems provides resources on how to get financing, business credit options, and company and tax registrations.

While there are some strict requirements to qualify, most astute entrepreneurs should easily be eligible. An agent is required to have an office, which could be a commercial office or home office. If a home office, the room has to be dedicated for business use only. All agents are expected to operate like any business would with the appropriate infrastructure including a business phone line listed with the local yellow pages. Allied Credit Systems supplies the agents with a fax number, email address, and web address.

According to Maramba, “Based on the security implications and the type of product line this is, we have very strict guidelines and requirements for approval. The agents have no access to any of the sensitive customer screening and account data. They simply handle the initial sales and on-going customer relationship management, allowing them to focus on sales growth.”
