Business verification

Is this company real, and who is behind it?

Company registries, tax identifiers, directors and shareholders, screened against business watchlists and pulled together into one dossier on the entity rather than a pile of unrelated lookups.

One dossier on the entity — and every person behind it screened as an individual.

How it works

Does the company exist, is it in good standing, and who controls it?

  1. 1

    Find the entity

    By registration number or by name, across national registries and a global company search.

  2. 2

    Confirm the details

    Legal name, status, incorporation date, registered address and tax identifier — matched against what the customer told you.

  3. 3

    Look at the people

    Directors and shareholders, each screenable as an individual against sanctions and PEP lists.

  4. 4

    Assemble the dossier

    Registry, tax, credit exposure and watchlist results filed under one entity, with a report you can hand to a committee.

In practice

One request. One envelope.

Every product on this page shares the same request shape, the same response envelope and the same audit trail. Adding one later is a new value in service, not a new integration.

Where it is used

Reached for when the answer has to hold up.

Merchant onboarding

Verify the business before you settle funds to it.

SME lending

Registry, tax and credit exposure in one view.

Supplier due diligence

Screen the entity and the people who control it together.

Worth knowing. Registry coverage differs by country: some publish directors, some only status and address. The dossier says which fields the registry actually returned rather than leaving a blank that reads as "none".
