Learn more about UK company due diligence

Define the counterparty and decision before asking your agent to collect Companies House evidence. Official registry records can support a review without replacing legal, financial, sanctions or identity checks.

Resolve the UK legal entity

Use the registered company number where possible and confirm that its legal name, address and jurisdiction match the counterparty. Keep trading names and wider group claims separate from the entity under review.

Which Companies House records support due diligence?

Company status, officers, registered details and dated filing history can evidence identity and statutory activity. Their availability and meaning vary, so ask the agent to retain the exact record and filing date behind each finding.

State the evidence boundary

Explain whether the decision concerns a customer, supplier, investment or other relationship. Ask the agent to identify missing checks and avoid treating registry records alone as proof of trading activity, beneficial ownership economics, creditworthiness or legal clearance.
