Every company is a company of people.

The registers won't tell you who those people are elsewhere. They hold no identifier for a person. Legible does the joining, so one search shows you the company, everyone behind it, and every other entity they touch.

One search, followed through

You asked about one company.

Here is what that actually looks like. Each step is work you would otherwise do by hand, in a different portal, with no way to carry the answer forward.

What surfaces without asking

Legible surfaces adverse
signals automatically.

Legible screens every company and every person on it against the adverse registers as a matter of course. Each signal is dated and graded, with its source attached.

Some registers identify people by name alone, with no number to match on. Where a signal rests on a name match, Legible labels it a possible match and leaves the judgement with you.

What you can do with it

All six tools use
the same joined record.

Network graph

Follow directors and shareholders across the whole register, including corporate shareholders, so you can walk an ownership chain upward.

What this is, and isn't

We'd rather tell you
the limits up front.

Dated to the day

Every view carries an as-at date, and you can pull a fresh copy from the register whenever it matters.

Sourced, always

Each fact carries the register it came from, so anything critical can be checked against the official record.

Honest about matching

No register gives a person a unique identifier. Where we link someone across companies we mark it inferred or uncertain, and show why.

A research aid, not a verdict

Not a credit score, not financial advice, not AML/CFT certification. It shows you the information; the judgement stays yours.
