Prepare focused evidence
What to prepare for a company check
A few specific details help distinguish the intended business from similarly named companies and keep the review focused on your actual decision.
Do not submit passwords, payment-card details, government identification numbers, or unrelated personal information.
Five useful inputs
1. The company name
Use the legal name if known. Add trading names, former names, or spelling variants that may appear in public records.
2. Website and location
Provide the business website or domain and the country, state, or city connected to the company. These details help separate similar names.
3. Your decision context
Briefly explain whether you are considering a supplier, vendor, customer, or partner. State the question you need the evidence to inform.
4. Known identifiers
If available, include a ticker, SEC CIK, registration number, or other business identifier. Do not guess an identifier.
5. Timing
Record when the decision is expected. If a review service becomes available later, availability and delivery timing would require separate confirmation.
