Free UK company checks
Check any UK companybefore you start work.
Free Trust Score from official public records. No account needed.
Partial names are fine — e.g. Tesco PLC or 00445790. You'll pick the exact company next.
Here's what a check looks like
Type any company name or number
Search runs straight against the official register. A partial name or a Companies House number is enough to find who you're really dealing with.
Pick the exact legal entity
Trading names and lookalike companies are everywhere. You confirm the registered company, so the check is about the right one.
We check the whole picture — not just one company
The company's own record first. Then its directors: where else they hold or held companies — and how those companies ended.
- Status, age & filings
- Accounts & balance sheets
- Charges on assets
- Insolvency records
- Directors & their other companies
- Official Gazette notices
Six official checks in every free score · the detailed report adds control, disqualification & payment-practices records
We sweep the official record
One company is never the full story. A director whose last three companies went under shows up here — even when the company you searched looks clean.
Read the score — and the reasons
A clear 0–100 Trust Score with every contributing factor written in plain English. Nothing hidden, nothing you have to take on faith.
Not financial advice — a public-record signal only.
Detailed reports

About B4uWork
Public records made clearer before work begins.
B4uWork turns UK public records into a simple 0–100 Trust Score for contractors deciding whether to extend credit, supply labour or start a job.
What the score means
Scores use visible public-record factors from official sources. Missing information is shown as uncertainty rather than treated as proof that a company is safe.
Privacy
Free checks and one-off reports do not require an account. The optional Business service stores the email, tracked companies and monitoring alerts needed to run a private workspace.
Important
A B4uWork score is a public-record signal only. It is not a credit rating, legal opinion, fraud finding, or guarantee of payment. Decisions made using the service remain the user's responsibility.
