What does the Company Trust Check look at?

It checks Companies House company status, filing health, active directors, persons with significant control, recent changes, charges and selected public account indicators.

Does this prove the company is safe to pay?

No. It is an evidence-led statutory record check. Bank ownership, sanctions, PEPs, adverse media, creditworthiness, identity verification and AML checks still need separate checks where relevant.

Can I save the result as a PDF?

Yes. After running the check, the report is designed as a one-page evidence view and can be printed or saved as a PDF.

Useful official context

Micro-entity accounts are valid statutory filings for very small companies, but usually contain limited public financial detail.
