Use cases
When to check a company
The everyday moments where a quick company check saves money and trouble, with the steps that fit each one.
Procurement and operations teams
Checks for supplier onboarding
Onboarding a supplier is the right moment to confirm who they are, because it is much harder to unwind a relationship later.
Finance and sales teams
Checks before giving a customer credit
Credit means trusting a customer to pay later. A quick check on the entity before you agree terms lowers the chance of writing off the debt.
Procurement teams
Checks for procurement and tenders
A tender is a decision you have to defend later. Checking bidders against the public record makes the award easier to stand behind.
Owners and executives
Checks before a partnership or joint venture
A partner's problems can become your problems. The closer the arrangement, the more it pays to understand who you are tying your business to.
Acquirers and advisers
Checks for mergers and acquisitions
Full M&A due diligence is detailed work. Confirming the entity and its standing early stops the deep work resting on a shaky base.
Risk and operations teams
Vendor risk management
Vendor risk is not a one off check. It is keeping a current view of the suppliers you depend on, so you are not surprised by a change.
Project and site teams
Checks for contractors and subcontractors
On a busy job it is easy to engage a contractor on a handshake. A quick entity check keeps the paperwork and the payments pointed at the right company.
Investors and lenders
Checks for investors and lenders
When your money depends on a company, the entity and its standing are the first things to confirm, and the last things you want to stop watching.
