Everything you need to qualify a UK company

Built for sales, credit, compliance and production teams that need fast, defensible answers about the businesses they work with.

Live UK Companies House data

Company status, incorporation date, SIC codes, filing history and registered address — pulled live from the official UK registry on every search. No stale caches, no surprises.

Search by name, number or officer

Find any UK company by name, jump straight to a CRN, or search for a director by name (with optional DOB) to see every appointment they hold across the register.

Shareable director profile pages

Every officer gets a public, SEO-friendly profile page with their full appointment timeline, risk summary, disqualification status and frequent co-directors — ideal for sharing with stakeholders.

0–100 risk score for instant triage

A transparent risk score blending company age, filing delays, outstanding charges, insolvency history and sanctions hits — so you can decide in seconds whether to proceed, dig deeper, or walk away.

Sanctions, PEP & AML screening

Every director and beneficial owner is screened against global sanctions lists, watchlists and politically exposed persons — built in for KYC, AML and supplier due diligence with full citations.

Disqualified-director register checks

Officers are checked against the UK Disqualified Directors Register on every search, so you spot people barred from acting as a director before you sign or extend credit.

Phoenix company & director detection

We scan every director's UK appointment history for phoenix-company red flags: prior firms that failed under short tenures, dissolved companies and suspicious name re-use. Every flag is auditable.

Co-director network graph

Surface the people who frequently appear on boards with a given director — exposes nominee directors, connected groups and hidden relationships in seconds.

AI reputation score (0–100)

Every UK company gets an explainable 0–100 reputation score blending Trustpilot ratings, Companies House risk flags and public employer review signals — with AI-written strengths, concerns and a one-line headline you can share with a client.

Social & online presence discovery

Find a company's most likely LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok profiles — scored for confidence so you can verify legitimacy, gauge audience and spot dormant or fake-looking brands in one click.

Watchlists with company & officer alerts

Save companies or directors to a watchlist and get email alerts when company status, officers, charges or risk score change — or when a director takes a new appointment, resigns or a connected company files insolvency. Daily digests on Pro, weekly on Essential.

Charges, PSCs & insolvency filings

Outstanding debentures, mortgages, persons with significant control, and the full insolvency history are surfaced alongside the registry record — the financial-health signals lenders and auditors actually look for.

Address & formation-agent red flags

Spot mass-registration addresses and known formation-agent hubs (Shelton St, Kemp House and friends) before you sign a contract, extend credit or onboard a supplier.

AI due-diligence briefings you can trust

Plain-English summaries of filings, officers, risk signals and news — every claim cited back to Companies House or its source so you can verify, share and defend the conclusion.

Cited news, deduped and cached

Recent news on any UK company, aggregated from multiple providers with publish dates and inline citations. Cached for 6 hours so repeat lookups don't burn your monthly quota.

Direct news search (Pro)

Run an ad-hoc news query on any topic, brand or director — not just a company name. Results are cited and counted against your monthly quota, perfect for adverse-media sweeps.

Bulk CSV company checks

Paste a list or upload a CSV/XLSX of up to 200 companies and export a clean, audit-ready status report in one click — perfect for supplier onboarding, credit reviews and portfolio monitoring.

Searchable history, audit trail & CSV export

Every check, watchlist alert and bulk run is logged and exportable to CSV — so compliance teams have an instant, defensible audit trail of who checked what, and when.

Private, secure & GDPR-friendly

Your searches, watchlists and exports stay in your workspace. Role-based access, encrypted at rest, hosted in the UK/EU — built for regulated teams from day one.

Built for speed

Sub-second registry lookups and a workspace designed to get you from company name to confident decision in moments — on desktop or mobile.

Dark mode & mobile-ready

A polished light and dark theme with a fully responsive layout — run a quick credit check on your phone between meetings, or a deep dive at your desk.

Upgrade to Pro

Go from one-off checks to continuous company monitoring

Free gets you started. Professional unlocks the volume, speed and audit tools that credit, compliance and procurement teams need.

10x the checks & daily monitoring

Professional gives you 500 Companies House checks and 150 news fetches a month, plus daily watchlist scans instead of weekly — so you catch changes fast.

Bulk CSV up to 200 rows

Upload a spreadsheet of up to 200 companies and export a clean, audit-ready status report in one click — perfect for supplier onboarding and portfolio reviews.

Searchable history & CSV exports

Filter your entire search history by text or result type and export it to CSV. A defensible audit trail for compliance, regulators and internal reviews.
