Investing, not raising?

The same checks, pointed at a company you were pitched: Companies House, then the SAFE, cap table and model you were sent.

The investor view →

Every check here is an automated read of public records or of the documents you upload: a readiness and gap report, not legal, tax or investment advice, and not a background check — it reads company records only. Companies House data can lag real filings by days or weeks; confirm anything that matters against the register itself.
