Company due diligence, done before you sign
I check every party and property behind a deal at the source: Companies House, company registers abroad, and land and charge registers. You’ll know who owns the company, who can sign, what’s registered against it and anything that doesn’t match your contract.

1 thing you should know
What do I check?
- The right legal entity Exact legal name, company number, registered office and any former names.
- Who can sign Directors and officers, so the person signing has the authority to.
- Charges and liens What’s secured against a company or property, by whom, and whether it’s still active.
- Property ownership Who owns a property today and how title got there, with anything unresolved flagged.
How does a company check work?
- Send me the names or the contract
- I check them at the source
- You get the red flags first
When should you run a company check?
Before you sign with a new supplier, customer or partner, before money changes hands, and whenever a contract names an entity you haven’t dealt with before. It takes one message, and the result sits with the deal in the tracker.
Questions people ask
Yes, along with company registers in other countries, land and charge registers for property, and any databases you already subscribe to. I read the results and flag what matters, rather than sending you a pile of printouts.
A company due diligence check covers status, accounts, officers, charges and who ultimately owns the company, all from the official record, with anything unusual flagged first.
Yes. Send the contract and I’ll check each counterparty against the register before you sign, and fix any names or numbers that don’t match. For a whole data room, see due diligence.
