Director Risk Radar
Look up any UK director by name and see their full appointment history, every company they have ever sat on, with risk flags for insolvency, outstanding charges, and disqualified officers.
How Director Risk Radar works
What we check
We search the Companies House officers register and match the director against all their known appointments, past and present. We then scan every associated company for insolvency cases, outstanding charges, and disqualified officer records.
Risk flags explained
- Insolvency: administration, liquidation, or receivership recorded
- Outstanding charges: secured debts still registered against a company
- Disqualified officers: a director linked to that company is disqualified
- Overdue filings: accounts or confirmation statement past due
Data source
All data is sourced from Companies House public records covering 5.7 million UK companies. Director appointment history is drawn from the official officers and appointments registers.
Who is it for?
HR and procurement teams vetting new hires, investors performing director due diligence, lenders assessing counterparty risk, and anyone wanting to understand a director's track record before entering a business relationship.
