For Local Government

Due diligence infrastructure for councils

Procurement teams, licensing officers, and trading standards run the same company checks every week using public records — Companies House, insolvency filings, tribunal judgments. Verafy turns that into a scored, auditable check that takes seconds, not an afternoon.

Procurement & Framework Vetting

Screen tender bidders and framework suppliers for financial standing, director history, and insolvency risk — the same PQQ financial checks your team runs manually, done in seconds instead of hours, with a certificate you can attach to the evaluation file.

Licensing & Trading Standards

Catch phoenix companies before they catch you — operators who dissolve and re-register under a new name to dodge licensing conditions, enforcement notices, or a poor trading history. Verafy's phoenix detection flags director-level patterns across every company they've ever run.

Grants & Business Support

Vetting applicants for small business grants, loans, or start-up support schemes before funds are committed — director history, active insolvency, and whether the applicant company is genuinely trading.

From search to signed-off in minutes

Whether it's one supplier or an entire licence-holder register.
