The process
No integration, no configuration. Set up an account, add a report credit, enter what you know, and review structured evidence.
01
Verifications run inside your Red Flags Verification account. Creating an account takes a moment, and returning customers simply sign in.
Your account is also where completed reports are kept, so you can return to them later.
02
One report credit covers one completed verification report. Pay As You Go is £49 for a single report credit, with no subscription.
Buying a credit does not start a verification. The credit sits in your account until you choose a business to verify. Plans for regular checks are shown on the pricing page.
£49
1 report credit · 1 verification report
A credit is used when a verification produces a completed report.
03
Provide the company information you already have, including the business name, country and relevant registration or tax identifier where available.
The exact fields that matter vary depending on the country and the data available for that company.
04
The platform cross-checks the submitted details against available company, compliance and business intelligence sources.
Available checks depend on jurisdiction, company type and source availability.
05
The findings are organised into a structured verification report showing verified information, discrepancies, risk indicators and supporting intelligence.
The completed report stays in your account, so you can reopen or download it after the verification has finished.

What we investigate
Each verification draws on the intelligence available for that company and jurisdiction.
Where available, Red Flags reviews authoritative or registry information such as legal company name, registration status, company number, formation details, registered address, business activity and available filing or registry indicators. The depth of registry information differs between jurisdictions.
The information you enter — business name, registration number, tax/VAT identifier, address, website, telephone and contact details — is compared against available verified information where reliable comparison data exists. The purpose is to surface inconsistencies, not simply return database records.
Screening for sanctions exposure, politically exposed persons where supported, and related compliance indicators. A clear screening result does not by itself mean a counterparty is safe, and does not constitute regulatory compliance on your behalf.
Where a website is submitted, the report assesses the infrastructure behind it — the IP address it resolves to, hosting provider and location, the ASN, whether it sits in a datacentre, and screening for VPN, proxy, Tor exit node or anonymising relay. Hosting arrangements have ordinary explanations, so this is a comparison point rather than proof either way.
Available operational, classification, registry and other business signals may contribute to the overall picture. Availability varies considerably by company and country.
Not every check is available in every jurisdiction. Available checks depend on jurisdiction, company type and source availability.
Data vs intelligence
Red Flags is not designed simply to return a collection of company records. It is designed to show how the pieces of information relate to each other.
One item requires further review.
Four signals support the submitted profile. One cannot be reliably supported, so it is surfaced for attention rather than buried in a data dump.
Individual data points matter. Their consistency matters more.
Signals
Green flags represent information that supports the submitted company profile or reduces uncertainty. A green flag does not guarantee that a company is legitimate.
Red flags indicate discrepancies, unusual signals or information requiring further attention.
A red flag is a reason to investigate further — not automatically proof of fraud or wrongdoing.
Verification score
The Red Flags Verification score summarises the signals identified during the investigation and reflects the overall consistency of the available intelligence.
87/100
LOWER RISKData availability
Company intelligence varies significantly between jurisdictions and sources. Missing source data does not automatically generate a red flag.
Information can be independently supported by available intelligence.
Available information conflicts with the submitted information, or does not support it.
The required intelligence cannot reliably be obtained for this company or jurisdiction.
“We would rather tell you that information is unavailable than pretend we know something we don’t.”
International coverage
Red Flags Verification currently supports company verification across 50 countries. Available identifiers, registry information and intelligence checks vary by jurisdiction.
Identifiers
Companies are identified differently around the world. Selecting the correct country and identifier type helps the verification match your company to the right records — and reduces the chance of an inconclusive result.
The report
Every verification produces the same structured format, so findings are easy to compare, share and file.
Legal and submitted company information.
Available authoritative business records.
Relevant sanctions and PEP findings.
Hosting and infrastructure behind a submitted website.
Where submitted information agrees or conflicts with independent findings.
Signals supporting the company profile.
Issues requiring attention.
A summary indicator of the intelligence identified.
Explanation of the most important findings.
Practical interpretation of what may require further investigation.
Professional downloadable version for records or review.
Transparency
Being clear about what a verification can and cannot tell you is part of using it well.
