Free live search of the official UK Companies House register
Fake suppliers, fraudulent invoices and business email compromise scams often rely on victims not checking whether a company is genuine, active, and who's really behind it. This tool searches the UK's official company register live, in real time — the same source banks and due diligence teams use.
Enter a company name — this queries Companies House live, right now, not a cached copy.
Active — the company is currently trading and legally registered. This is what you'd expect for a genuine, currently-operating supplier.
Dissolved / Closed — the company no longer legally exists. If someone claims to represent a dissolved company, that's a serious red flag worth investigating further before sending any money.
This tool checks the official company register — it doesn't verify that the person contacting you actually works for that company, or catch every type of fraud. Always independently verify contact details through a company's official website or known phone number, never one provided in an unsolicited email or message.
Just like companies can be checked publicly, so can your personal information. See what's exposed about you.
