Does a Director find out if I buy a report on them?

Absolutely not. When you buy a director report, the purchase is between you and us. No one else is notified, certainly not the director who you have bought a report on. The same goes for when you buy a company report, the company will never know.

Why are the Statutory Dates empty in my Company Report?

Company Credit Report: What’s the Period?

company accountsIf you have purchased a company report you may wonder what the “period” under the “Accounts” heading is. This represents the number of months that the last accounts filed covered. For example, if the “Date From” is 31/10/11 and the “Date To” is 31/10/12, the “Period” will be 12, as in 12 months.

Why’s the SIC Code in my Company Report 4 digits long?

As long as the company has filed an annual return, all of our company reports include the company SIC (standard industrial classification) code. If a return has not been filed, this field will be blank.

You may notice that some companies have a four digit code while others have a five digit code. The four digit codes are the old ones, the five digit codes are the new ones. Therefore, if a company is using a four digit code, they simply haven’t filed a return since the new codes came in place.
