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

Since 2016, the Kurtz Detective Agency has actively supported the Neven Subotic Foundation. Why this particular organisation? Because every cent donated goes to those in need. All administrative costs are personally borne by the founder Neven Subotic. Large organisations such as UNICEF or SOS Children’s Villages, as of 2017, invest among other things significant sums in Google AdWords. If you wish to donate 20 euros and click on a UNICEF AdWords advert, this can easily cost UNICEF around 20 euros depending on the keyword. Your donation therefore ultimately ends up with Google. This is a concept we are also familiar with from the detective industry, where it leads to considerable cost burdens, which is why we do not participate in it. This refusal to use AdWords is also one of the main reasons for our comparatively moderate fees within the industry.
The Neven Subotic Foundation pursues a very different approach from many of the better-known charitable organisations. We always endeavour to support the foundation along this path, and this will not change in the future.
