The guiding principles of Kurtz Investigations are professionalism, discretion and cost transparency. This is evidenced by numerous well-known clients, including, among others, domestic and international 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 by Wirtschaftswoche, a company of the Handelsblatt Publishing Group, Kurtz Detective Agency was awarded third place as the best investigative service in all of Germany. The score of 77.22 was surpassed by only 5 companies across all other 24 sectors reviewed. Kurtz Detective Agency therefore achieved the eighth-best result of all 236 providers tested, clearly outperforming companies such as Lufthansa, Sparkasse, BMW, DHL and many others.

Since 2016, Kurtz Investigations has been actively supporting the Neven Subotić Foundation. Why this organisation in particular? Because every donated cent goes directly to those in need. All administrative costs are personally covered by the founder, Neven Subotić. Large organisations such as UNICEF, SOS Children’s Villages and others were, as of 2017, investing enormous sums in Google AdWords, among other things. If you want to donate 20 euros and click on a UNICEF AdWords advertisement, that click can cost UNICEF as much as 20 euros, depending on the keyword. Your donation therefore ultimately ends up with Google. This is a concept we also know from the detective industry, where it causes significant cost burdens, which is why we do not participate in it. This refusal to use AdWords is also one of the key reasons for our comparatively moderate fees within the industry.
The Neven Subotić Foundation pursues a very different approach from many of the better-known aid organisations. We consistently strive to support the foundation along this path, and that will not change in the future.
