Check the company behind the name.
Before working with a vendor, customer, commercial tenant or partner, you may want to check the company’s registered name, status or supplied details. Tell us the company, jurisdiction and the facts you want verified; CBEOF compares those facts with the records available for your request.
You receive the supported findings, record references and any differences or unanswered questions. Registration checks provide business information. Locating a company, assessing creditworthiness and deciding whether to proceed with the relationship are separate questions.
How businesses use this service.
Business verification for contractors and suppliers
Identify the company named on the project agreement and the details your team wants checked. Registration review does not automatically establish a trade license, bonding or ability to pay.
Company checks for customer and supplier onboarding
Compare the legal business name and selected stated details before a trade relationship proceeds. Keep the verification request separate from your credit-limit and payment-term decisions.
Business-entity checks for commercial tenants and vendors
Confirm which company appears on a commercial lease or vendor agreement and define the business facts to review. Screening an individual rental applicant is a separate tenant screening request.

Other services that may help

What’s included.
Identify the business being checked
Start with the legal or trading name, formation jurisdiction and any registration number. Those details help distinguish companies with similar names.
Choose the details to verify
Choose the facts you need checked, such as registration, recorded status or other supplied details available from the selected records.
Record the source and date
Document the source and date of review. A report describes what was available at that time, with unresolved differences kept visible.
Resolve differences in the records
Address discrepancies directly: a different name, outdated address, or missing record can require another source or clarification from the business.
Distinguish verification from locating
If the question is how to find or contact an entity for a case, use the Business Locate scope under Skip Tracing & Locate Services instead.
What you’ll receive
- The entity identifiers and list of business facts requested.
- Findings for the fields included in the agreed scope.
- Source references and the date of review.
- Matched, conflicting and unverified details distinguished clearly.
- Specific clarification questions for any unresolved field.
