Due Diligence
Ensuring you have all of the accurate information on the situation at hand is vital to success. The arrangement could have fatal flaws such as a conflict of interest, debts, missing stock, questionable employees, criminal backgrounds and other attributes which you may be better placed to avoid. By hiring an investigator to do the background research you are ensuring all of these details are as they appear and if not exactly what is wrong.
Business professionals do their due diligence as an important part of the preliminary stages, ideally before going to negotiations. Whether or not a negotiation is needed any type of business deal with a higher value must be thoroughly checked beforehand to ensure the best possible outcomes for yourself and the business.

Is it a questionable expense? The downsides will also justify the insurance of proper due diligence. When the potential for losses is the entire arrangement, investment or goods then adequate background checks must be a part of the preliminary phases.
Perhaps there is an alternative?
Doing good strategic due diligence is important in establishing the true value of a business. Using generic valuation models is only half the story. You may end up falling short on a bid or perhaps overlook undocumented risks associated with it. Hiring professionals to do due diligence isn't just an extra cost its an asset worth the mitigated risks as a result.
