Due diligence in 30 seconds

Should you trade with them?

Before you invoice a new customer or pay a new supplier, check the official record. We turn Companies House, The Gazette and the insolvency registers into one plain-English verdict: trade, caution, or avoid.

TRADE

Established, accounts filed, no flags. Standard terms look reasonable.

CAUTION

A few warning signs. Consider part-payment up front for a first order.

AVOID

Serious red flags on the public record. Don't extend credit.

What we check

Company health

Age, status, and whether their annual accounts or confirmation statement are overdue: the earliest sign of distress.

Insolvency notices

Winding-up, administration and strike-off notices published in The Gazette, the UK's official public record.

Director history

The phoenix check: has a director repeatedly closed similar companies, or been disqualified? We cross-join every appointment.

Plain-English verdict

Not a data dump. One traffic-light call, the reasons behind it, and what to do: trade, ask for money up front, or walk away.
