What you want to do
Customer & supplier checks
Know who you are dealing with before you extend credit or sign a contract — official registers and filed accounts, straight from the source rather than a credit agency's summary of them.
- Charity Register (England & Wales)Check a charity before you deal with it — status, finances, trustees and whether it is actually on the live register — straight from the regulator.
- Filed Company Accounts (Companies House Accounts Data)See a customer's real balance sheet before you extend credit or sign a long contract — filed figures, not a credit agency's opinion of them.
- Persons with Significant Control (PSC)See who actually owns and controls a customer or supplier before you extend credit or sign — the beneficial owners behind the company, straight from the register, for your own due-diligence checks.
- Public Contracts (Contracts Finder)Check a company's public-contract track record — what they have won, from whom and for how much — before you partner with or supply them.
- UK Company Register (Companies House Company Data)Check a customer or supplier is who they say they are before you extend credit: are they active, how long have they traded, have they changed name, do they have charges registered?
