So then, it's likely not so much the sharing of information that gives them hesitation,it's likely a mistrust of an unknown online service.Couple ideas:1) When you email them the link to the online screening service, include some background on the service-- such as the digital security they use / which third-party (Verisign) has certified them / years in biz / how many screens completed / link their listing on the Better Biz Bureau rating / etc.

But there are too many unknowns or I guess more homework than I am willing to do.  

I am assuming your investor is in the same state as you, but this information is unknown from the information you've provided.
