The map behind every check

Every director, PSC and ownership link, traced.

Probitas walks the entity outward through Companies House- parent, persons of significant control, every officer past and present, and renders the whole graph in the report. No more chasing PDFs of corporate trees.

What you get

Everything a KYB check needs, nothing it does not.

Three sanctions lists, one check

Every entity and named officer screened against OFSI (5,135 entries), OFAC SDN (18,400+ entries), and the UN Security Council consolidated list using fuzzy-name matching. Results confirmed or flagged for review.

Risk score across six pillars

Deterministic 0-100 score across Geography, Financial, Governance, Sanctions, Adverse Media, and Operational risk. Hard stops fire on confirmed sanctions hits. Every signal is traceable to a source record.

Adverse media and OSINT

Parallel web intelligence across multiple search providers and named press sources. Stories classified by severity. FATF predicate-offence screening included. Contextual news separated from adverse findings.

Director and ownership analysis

Every active director checked: other appointments, dissolved company links, nationality risk, and tenure. PSC chain traced to ultimate beneficial owners. Corporate-entity PSCs flagged automatically.

Financials from filed accounts

Income, expenditure, and net assets parsed from iXBRL filings at Companies House or the Charity Commission. Year-on-year anomaly detection flags shifts above 30%. Late filing patterns surfaced automatically.

Evidence confidence score

After generation, a second pass re-reads every claim against the source data fetched at run time. Claims not supported by a primary source are flagged. A percentage shows the report's evidentiary backing before you read a word.

A note on what this is

Research-grade intelligence. Not regulated advice.

Probitas reads the sources regulators use and prepares a research-grade report. It is not a substitute for the customer due diligence procedures required under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017.

A drop of ink, and every UK register answers.

The business case

Know before you sign,
in minutes, not an afternoon.

Vetting one company or charity properly is real work, spread across registers that don’t talk to each other. Probitas reads them all and writes you one cited report. A single analyst hour costs more than a month of our reports.

Questions

Common questions, plain answers.

Three things. A free name screen across sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media registers, three a week, no signup. A £1.99 company profile, instant open-source background on any company, UK or overseas. And a 20-plus-page evidence-anchored report on any UK company or charity for £3.99, built live while you watch each stage finish.

The free name screen checks one name against global watchlists in a few seconds, answering "is this name flagged?". The £1.99 profile is instant open-source intelligence on any company or organisation, UK or overseas: what it is, who owns and runs it, recent media, and any controversy or enforcement, every claim cited. The £3.99 report goes deepest on a UK company or charity using statutory sources, Companies House, the Charity Commission, the FCA, and audited accounts, with sanctions screening and a 0 to 100 risk score.

Anyone who needs to know who they're dealing with before they sign, fund, take them on, or publish. Trustees, compliance and KYB teams, lawyers, finance leads vetting suppliers, journalists, and individuals making a careful decision.

No. Probitas is research-grade intelligence. If MLR 2017 applies to you, apply your own customer due diligence procedures on top. The signature is still yours.

Twenty-plus pages on a single UK company or charity, covering ownership, directors or trustees, governance, financial history, filing history, sanctions screening across OFSI, OFAC, and the UN, adverse media, policy verification, and a 0 to 100 risk score split into six categories. Every claim carries a citation back to a primary source.

A source-anchored 360° profile on any company or organisation, UK or overseas. It covers what the company is, ownership and key people, the latest media coverage, and any controversy or enforcement history, with every claim cited to a real source. It is open-source intelligence rather than a statutory filing, so for filed accounts, directors, filing history and a full risk matrix on a UK entity, use the £3.99 report.

Use the £1.99 profile for a fast read on any company, including overseas ones the report doesn't cover, or to size something up before you commit. Use the £3.99 report when you need statutory evidence on a UK company or charity: filed accounts, directors or trustees, filing history, sanctions screening, and a citable risk matrix you can put in front of a board.

Global sanctions lists (OFSI, OFAC, UN, EU, and allied jurisdictions), the worldwide PEP register, adverse-media archives, and enforcement and debarment registers. Returns matches with a probabilistic confidence score and a clear unrelated / review / confirmed verdict per surface.

Live at the moment the report is generated. Registers are read via their authoritative feeds; sanctions lists are refreshed on the cadence each authority publishes. The report footer prints the read time of each source so you can verify.

Every claim in the report must trace back to a primary source. A verification stage runs after writing and cuts any sentence without a citable anchor. We pull the evidence first, then write only what the evidence supports.

It builds live while you watch. The seven-stage pipeline runs in real time on the progress page, and the report opens the moment the last stage finishes. Most runs take a few minutes, longer for a large group with many filings to read.

About fifteen to twenty seconds. You watch the named research agents work through profile, momentum, risk and synthesis while it runs.

Three to five seconds for a typical name. Longer if the name is heavily ambiguous and disambiguation has more work to do.

You buy credits and spend them on any check: a company profile is 1 credit (£1.99), a full report is 2 credits (£3.99). Credits come in packs from £4.99, and the name screen is always free. Payment is via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay), with no subscription unless you choose the firm plan. Have a coupon? Enter it when you run a check.

No. The report is delivered by signed link and PDF to the email you provide at checkout. The company profile and the name screen run in the browser with no login, and the screen is free for your first three checks each week.

Reply to the delivery email. We'll re-run the report at no charge. Confirmed errors go on a public corrections log with a date and a description of what changed.

No one. Reports are accessed via signed link, profiles and name screens are stateless, and we do not log which reports or screens you read after delivery.

Anyone dealing with a UK company or charity can run an in-depth £3.99 review. The £1.99 profile covers any company or organisation, UK or overseas. Name screening uses global sanctions and PEP data, so it works for any named person or entity, not just UK ones.
