Protect your agency

We detect mass registrations of unrelated entities sharing single office suites, P.O. boxes, or even garden sheds. Real example: 487 'umbrellas' registered to one flat. These 'industrial farms' are designed to fragment liability.

We trace directors' histories for patterns of companies being 'struck off' with unpaid debts, then the same person starting new ones. Average phoenix cycle: 18 months. They trade, accumulate tax debt, dissolve, repeat.

We detect UK-registered companies controlled by directors with no UK footprint — often in high-risk offshore hubs. Under JSL rules, if the offshore entity 'disappears', you're the nearest solvent UK entity HMRC can pursue.

Fraudsters use algorithms to mass-generate company names. We detect these patterns like random word combinations, typo-squatting of legitimate brands, and suspiciously similar naming across hundreds of registrations.

Our geospatial engine flags industrial-scale payroll operations registered to semi-detached homes, flats, or farmhouses. Legitimate payroll providers don't run from spare bedrooms.

Old, dormant companies are purchased and 'reactivated' with fresh directors to feign maturity and stability. A company registered in 2015 that suddenly has new directors and starts processing payments in 2025 is a red flag.

You cannot legally pay a dissolved company, but it happens. We flag entities that are 'Dissolved', in 'Liquidation', or have zero active directors. If you're sending money to a zombie company, that's a serious compliance failure.

Labour suppliers often hide behind vague SIC codes like '70229 - Management Consultancy' to avoid HMRC's targeted scrutiny. We cross-reference what they claim to do vs what they actually do.

Ghost Worker detection: we flag mathematical anomalies that reveal burner entities on their first payroll run. A company incorporated two weeks ago cannot legitimately employ dozens of workers. When your weekly payroll file hits our Dropzone, we catch these instantly.
