Company Essentials Report

|  |
All of the information in Company Essentials Report is taken from our most
in-depth report, the Company Credit Report. Company Credit offers in-depth information
on the company being reviewed, whereas Company Essentials concentrates on the
identity and legal status of the company, including all legal and detrimental
information such County Court Judgments and Legal London Gazette. Company Essentials
satisfies the FSA requirements for Money Laundering purposes in that it confirms
the legal identity of the company together with director details.
The following gives a summary of each section in the report. However, if you
feel that you would like to learn more before buying this report, then please

You can use our plain English step-by-step guides to gain knowledge and expand

Features & Benefits
Company Identification
Provides information on company ownership and group subsidiaries.
- Background information on the target company, including official Registered
Office address details, enables quick and accurate identification.
- Trading address, phone and fax number.
- Presence and display of previous company names provides better insight into
the history of the company you are looking at and can reduce risk from bad debt/fraud.
- Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes can be useful for marketing
and sourcing new business.
Company Capitalisation
Offers a summary of the issued capital, and how that is distributed amongst the
shareholders.
- Issue share breakdown illustrates how much capital has been put into the
business. This is the limit to which the shareholders are liable should anything
go wrong with the company, so it will give an insight into the faith the shareholders
have in the business. This could be vital if you are deciding to work with,
for, or trade with such an organisation.
- Share ownership breakdown shows you exactly who is behind the company. This
could be one individual, a number of individuals, other companies or even a
combination of individuals and companies.
Charges/Debentures Registered
This section will show the debt that the company may hold.
Gazette & Detrimental
Contains gazette information such as High Court Writs (claim forms), Winding Up
Petitions, Meetings of Creditors, Receiverships, Administration Orders and Liquidations.
This gives the ability to quickly assess the legal status of the company, the likelihood
of failure, or those who are in difficulty. Also indicates efficiency of the company
in settling supplier disputes.
County Court Judgments
Continuing on from Gazette & Detrimental, this section gives an indication of
whether the company has any judgments registered against it for non-payment.

This allows individual assessment, looking more directly at the people who manage
and run the company. Using this information together with our Company Appointments
Report will allow you to take a look in greater depth at the past track record
of the company officers of the company. Past performance is a powerful indicator
to future activity, and if you are going to invest money, time and effort working
with (or for) any company then this information may well play a vital role in
your decision.
