Data methodology

We collect qualifying corporate insolvency information from public and other lawful sources. Company number is used as the principal identifier where available. Stable event references, company identity and publication dates help us detect duplicate records and later updates.

Matching and classification

Automated processing normalises names, dates, locations and procedure descriptions. A record is not treated as a reliable match merely because two names are similar. Ambiguous, conflicting or unsupported fields may be omitted, flagged for review or retained with a data quality note.

Enrichment

Public information may be supplemented with carefully checked website, trading name, industry and business contact signals. Identity evidence may include the company number, legal or trading name, address, privacy or terms pages and corroborating business profiles. Enrichment is evidence based but remains capable of error.

Freshness and corrections

Dates show when an event was published, observed or updated. Source records can change and may contain errors. Imports are checked regularly, but this does not guarantee immediate or complete coverage. Use the correction form where a record appears inaccurate.

Important limitation

This service is an information and monitoring tool, not an official register and not legal, investment or credit advice. Verify material facts against current primary records and obtain appropriate professional advice before acting.
