Some supplier approaches are a name, a logo and a bank account. The question here is the simplest one: is there a legally registered entity whose recorded details match what you were given, and is its status current in the register?
Existence is established from the register, not from a website. We locate the entry that matches the number, legal name and address you hold, read its status and recorded activity, and report whether each detail matches. Where no entry is found, the report says that no entry was found in the sources searched and lists the searches made, which is a different statement from saying the company does not exist.
This is a narrower question than a full review of consistency and red flags. It stops at registration status and the match between what you hold and what is recorded.
The legal name, number and address in the register equal those in your paperwork. Reported as a verified fact with the register cited, and nothing more is inferred from it.
The entity exists but with a different address, a slightly different name, or another status. Each difference is listed with both values so you can ask the supplier to explain it.
Reported with the searches tried, spelling variants and any number format issues. Recorded as unavailable, not as proof of absence, because records may be in another script or another register.
Possible with generic names. The report lays out the candidates and what distinguishes them, and asks you to confirm which one you were dealing with.
Invoices come from a different legal entity than the brand on the website. The check follows the invoicing entity, since that is who you contract and pay.
A young record is noted as such. It is a fact about the record, not a conclusion about the business, and the report keeps the two apart.
A number passed on by a third party is client-provided until it is matched to a register entry, and the report says whether the entry carries the same legal name.
A registered company may be dormant or may outsource everything. Registration does not show activity.
Public records can list officers; they cannot show that the individual on your call is one of them.
Existence and status only. Credit rating is not part of this service.
Research reports what can be established from public and provided sources. It is not a guarantee about a counterparty's future conduct and not legal advice.
It is proof that a registered entity exists with those recorded details. Whether it is a suitable counterparty is a separate judgement.
The report records that, tries the name and address routes, and lists the outcome of each.
Only company roles that appear in public registers, never personal backgrounds.
