About · the why

A shield. Built from UK regulatory data.

Honest UK businesses take on avoidable exposure because they commit to companies they have not properly checked. RecoupIQ helps them see the public evidence before the commitment is made.

By someone who got tired of UK businesses losing money to customers they should never have trusted.

01Founder thesis

Most businesses do not need another vague score. They need to know who they are dealing with, what the public evidence says, and what deserves verification before they commit. That’s why RecoupIQ exists.

butA company can look ordinary while its filings, directors, charges, or connected entities tell a different story.

thereforeCheck the evidence before you extend trust, work, or commercial exposure.
