We provide verification enquiries to establish the accuracy of information relating to individuals, addresses, employment and businesses. Whether you need to assess residency, check a workplace connection or establish whether a business operates from stated premises, we undertake focused enquiries to answer the question relevant to your case.

​

We combine available database intelligence, public records, open-source research and, where appropriate, discreet field enquiries. Information is cross-referenced to establish what the evidence supports, identify inconsistencies and explain whether further investigation is required.

​

Based in Bristol with nationwide UK coverage, we support solicitors, landlords, businesses and private clients who need independently checked information before making contact, progressing proceedings or committing to a commercial decision.

​

When verification can help

​

Our verification services may assist with:

​

• Checking an address before legal correspondence or personal service.

• Assessing residency information relevant to debtor recovery or former tenants.

• Examining a claimed employer or workplace connection.

• Checking business details before a commercial relationship or legal claim.

• Distinguishing a registered office from an operational trading address.

• Resolving conflicting information or checking facts requiring physical attendance.

​

Each enquiry is tailored to a defined purpose, with the scope agreed before work begins.

​

What we can verify

​

Residency and address verification

​

We assess whether available information connects an individual with a specified address and whether the evidence supports current occupation. Enquiries may examine address histories, recorded activity dates, property details and relevant occupancy indicators.

Where a database link is identified but present residency remains unconfirmed, our report makes that distinction clear. Field attendance can be considered where the correct dwelling, current occupation or another material fact requires further checking.

​

Employment and workplace verification

​

We examine information linking an individual to a stated employer, workplace or business activity. Enquiries may include professional profiles, employer websites, company records, authorised contact with relevant parties and discreet workplace attendance.

Our findings distinguish confirmed employment information from reported information and observed attendance. Presence at business premises alone does not establish employment status, job title or earnings.

​

Business verification

​

We examine a business’s identity, recorded status, publicly recorded officers and connections to supplied premises. We compare relevant records and public information to assess whether the details are consistent and whether there is evidence of activity at the stated location. These enquiries can support commercial due diligence, pre-sue investigations and the assessment of conflicting business information.

​

Registered office and trading address verification

​

We check recorded company addresses and, where required, attend premises to assess their apparent use. A registered office may be an accountant’s address, serviced office or correspondence facility rather than the place from which a business trades.

Our enquiries distinguish the registered address from evidence of physical occupation and operational activity, recording relevant discrepancies and limitations.

​

Other factual verification

​

We also undertake enquiries into matters requiring independent checking or physical attendance. These may include confirming whether premises exist, identifying the correct entrance or unit, checking apparent occupation and documenting relevant conditions or activity. The investigation remains focused on the precise question you need answered.

​

How we conduct the investigation

​

Desktop verification

​

We review the information supplied and compare it with relevant sources. These may include available electoral-register information, Companies House records, property records, business directories, professional profiles and other open-source material.

​

We have access to credit-reference data, including addresses, contacts details and connected people. Where appropriate to the instruction and authorised by the provider, this can help assess identity and address associations.

​

A single database entry is not treated as conclusive evidence. We consider its date, relevance and consistency with other findings. Credit-reference address activity does not, by itself, prove current residency, employment or ownership.

​

Field verification

​

Where physical attendance is required, our investigators can visit residential addresses, workplaces, registered offices and trading premises. Depending on the agreed scope, this may involve discreet observations or appropriate enquiries with relevant persons.

​

What your report contains

​

You receive a structured written report presenting:

​

• The instruction, purpose and agreed scope.

• The person, business, address or factual claim examined.

• Desktop enquiries undertaken and relevant sources.

• Search dates, record dates and field-attendance details.

• Findings and supporting evidence, where lawful and permitted.

• Any inconsistencies or unresolved questions.

• Confidence assessments and material limitations.

• Recommendations for further enquiries where appropriate.

​

Confirmed facts are distinguished from observations, third-party information and investigative assessments. Where a fact cannot be verified, this is stated clearly.

​

Confidentiality and legal compliance

​

All instructions must have an appropriate lawful purpose. Before commencing, we assess the lawful basis, necessity and proportionality of the proposed enquiries, including any contact or physical attendance.

​

Our work follows applicable UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, as amended. Database access and disclosure remain subject to provider permissions. Personal information is handled confidentially and limited to what is relevant to the instruction.
