Appointment Mapping

Every directorship across every group company, mapped and cross-referenced automatically. The platform pulls appointments from Companies House for the target entity and every connected company in the ownership chain. You see the full picture: current roles, resignation dates, alternate directorships, and appointment timelines — structured so overlapping tenures and shared board seats are immediately visible.

Conflict of Interest Detection

The platform automatically flags shared directorships between buyer and seller entities. If a director sits on the board of both the buying company and the selling SPV, or holds an appointment at a guarantor and a competing lender, the conflict is surfaced before it compromises the transaction. Each flag includes the entities involved, the nature of the overlap, and a severity rating — so you know immediately whether the same individuals are acting on both sides of the deal.

Disqualified Director Checks

Real-time checks against the Companies House disqualification register. Every director and beneficial owner in the chain is screened for current and historic disqualification orders, undertakings, and permission-to-act notices. Results include the disqualification period, the conduct that led to it, and whether the individual is currently acting in breach — critical information for any solicitor advising on a transaction.

Shadow Director Indicators

Patterns that suggest undisclosed control are flagged automatically. The platform analyses ownership declarations, appointment timings, shared registered offices, and filing patterns to surface individuals who may be acting as shadow directors without formal appointment. These indicators are presented alongside the formal director map so you can assess governance risk across the full entity structure.
