Draft — must be reviewed before launch
This page is a working draft written to be honest about how the service operates. It is not legal advice and it has not been reviewed by a solicitor. Every amber field must be completed, and the whole page checked against the business's actual practices, before the site goes live.
Supervision
We are supervised by AML supervisory body , registration number 000000 . Our Companies House authorised corporate service provider reference is pending .
What we check, and when
- Identity and address of every director, shareholder and person with significant control.
- The ownership and control structure, including where a holding company or trust sits above the company.
- What the business actually does, and where its money comes from.
- Checks are completed before an address is activated — not after payment clears.
Why we sometimes say no
If we cannot satisfy ourselves about identity, ownership or purpose, we decline. We may also end an existing relationship. In defined circumstances we are required to make a report and are prohibited from telling you we have done so — which is why we will never claim that "no report has been made".
Why an address matters here
Registered office addresses are a standing target for misuse. Capping the companies at each address, verifying identity first, and monitoring the public register for unauthorised use are not marketing lines — they are the controls that keep an address from becoming a liability for every legitimate company sharing it.
