Does anyone know about this company?

Or does anyone know how I can find out about; "Princeton Commercial Holdings"?

I was recently toying with the idea of taking up the experience of living in another country. I was discussing this on a messageboard when someone mentioned that Princeton Commercial Holdings apparently has an agency that helps facilitate transitions like this for people. At the time, it was explained to me that they basically help you through the paperwork and finding work in your field. I contacted the company through their website and in their reply, they asked me if I was willing to set up my own business in the country I would move to.

Automatically, this set off alarm bells for me because setting up a business requires cash and likely an exchange of personal information - something I won't risk unless I am 100% sure they are legit.

I also noticed some bizarre spelling mistakes in one of the websites that they own, although it is unclear as to whether or not they are actually actively involved with it. The other thing that I thought was strange was that in the email I received from them, it seemed very professional, yet the person only had their 1st name in their signature. As a professional myself, I would never conceal my name to a potential client.

I tried googling this company and can't find any dirt, but my gut feeling is to stay away, but is there any way to check them out?

That sounds like a pyramid scheme or at the very least a scam of some sort.

That's what crossed my mind, but with almost all of those types of scams, you can find internet rants and dirt.

I was thinking that it might be a financing thing where they want to give you a business loan and gouge you in interest.

Had a quick look, seems a bit sketchy. Might not be a scam per se, but any supposedly professional website that runs google ads on their main homepage is not really a prime time company. Also, they have no information on the company itself - who they are, where they came from, what experience they have in this field.

They also seem to run a rather eclectic range of "other" websites - a bookstore that sells books that don't list the actual author of said book for one example (likely books written by the owner of the website and self-published).

Again, probably not a scam per se, but more likely some guy that spent $20 on a domain name, and will not do a whole lot for you other than point you to some other government agencies and/or websites and maybe try to sell you some books he wrote.
