Companies House, FCA, GLEIF, Charity Commission, CQC, HMRC and SRA, pulled together into a single view.
Company, officers, PSCs and secured creditors screened against OFAC, UN, UK and EU lists, with adverse media search alongside.
PSC chain depth, ownership graphs, ICIJ Offshore Leaks and insolvency history, built from data we extract from each company's own filings.
