Use cases
Use the public record before the relationship gets expensive.
Recruiters, wholesalers, subcontractors, hauliers, and other businesses often commit money, stock, labour, or capacity before they get paid. TrustCheck helps you identify the correct legal entity, examine the available source-linked records, and turn what you find into the questions, terms, and review points your decision needs. The result is a company-specific decision brief, not a generic score and not a replacement for your own judgement.
Four buying moments. One evidence-led process.
The industry changes, but the decision pattern is consistent: identify the company, understand what the record shows, decide what to verify or negotiate, and keep important relationships in view.

Intercept Winding-Up Petitions Before Morning Payout Batches Leave Your Bank
When HMRC or a petitioning creditor lodges a High Court winding-up petition, payouts disbursed after that date are legally void under Insolvency Act 1986 §127. Our deterministic wire interceptor checks Gazette notices, strike-offs, and boardroom flight in <15ms.
Not one of those? The same check works for anyone weighing up a UK company before they commit: a new supplier, a partner, a company you are about to invest in or acquire, whether you are in the UK or checking a British company from abroad.
Acquisition due diligenceWe stopped a buyer paying for a moat that did not exist.
The situation
A UK business was about to acquire a company. The whole reason to buy was one apparent strength: the target seemed to own a direct line to exactly the customers it sold to. On paper, that pipeline was the deal.
What the public record showed
A single-company credit report shows the company. It never shows the person standing behind it, or the influence that one filing cannot reveal. RecoupIQ’s expert-made forensic models read the full UK public record and connected the dots a single search cannot: the pipeline was one person, the advantage could not be bought, and the business was already failing underneath it.
The facts it rested on
- ·The owner also controlled a national membership body whose members were the natural buyers of what the company sold, the advantage was his influence, not the company’s
- ·That body is a company limited by guarantee, so the influence belonged to the owner personally and would walk out the door on the day of sale
- ·Revenue was falling, the business was loss-making with negative net worth, and it held no real assets
- ·The channel was not even translating into sales
What it gave them
The buyer stopped paying for a moat that would not transfer and was already drying up. They walked into the negotiation seeing the real company, not the pitch, and priced the risk before they committed. The client is happy to act as a reference through RecoupIQ.
