Check a supplier before the money leaves
The cheapest quote on Facebook Marketplace and the slick new supplier both want a deposit. Before you pay a business you have never used, we check what the registers actually say about them and send you a one page report within one business day. R290.
What the report covers
- CIPC registration and status: does the company exist, and is it In Business or in deregistration
- Directors: who they are and whether any appear on the disqualified directors register
- Age of the business: registered last month or trading for a decade
- Beneficial ownership: filed and current, or dodged
- Consistency: do the address, phone and names they gave you match the public record
- Web footprint: site age, reviews, and searches across scam report platforms
- An overall reading: no red flags, caution, or do not pay before resolving the flagged items
The one thing no report can check
Nobody outside a bank can verify who owns an account number, which is exactly how deposit scams work: real company name, real looking invoice, criminal's account. So every report ends with the rule that actually protects you: before the first payment, phone the business on a number you found independently, not the one on the invoice, and confirm the banking details by voice. Thirty seconds, and it defeats the most common scam in the country.
Frequently asked questions
What does the supplier check cover?
CIPC status, directors and disqualifications, business age, beneficial ownership, consistency between what they told you and the public record, and web footprint including scam searches. A documents and registers check, not a credit report.
Can you verify their banking details?
No service can reliably do that from outside a bank, which is how deposit scams work. The report includes the phone confirmation rule that actually protects you.
How fast is the report?
Within one business day of your order form being completed. Closing a deal today? Order in the morning and say so; deadline notes are read first.
Is a clean report a guarantee?
No. It proves the business is real, registered and consistent on the day checked. It removes the most expensive risk: paying a business that does not exist.
