Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
The company details section basically gives you a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know about a specific company.
You simply enter the name of the company or the company registration number. If you start searching by company name, then our company search predictor will make it really easy for you.
You simply navigate to the company page by entering the company name or company registration number and look at the ‘overview’ tab where you can see the ‘contact information’ including website address, phone number, address and number of employees.
If you are not sure of your Companies House Registration (Company Number) then you can have a look on any correspondence you have from them, it will be shown on official documentation. However, if you don’t have any to hand them you could search for your company on Companies House – or alternatively use the DataGardener platform and simply search by company name or even by the name of a director.
If you have any doubt about the legitimacy of a company – do the basics…
- Do they have a website?
- Do they have phone number?
- Do they have an address – what does that address look like on Google Street View?
If you are in the slightest doubt ask for information, and whatever you do not pay them anything.
Try finding the company on Companies House or DataGardener.
Great question! And one that we are here to answer.
If you start dealing with a new supplier, distributor or customer then you take a step into the unknown. In business, the unknown is two things –
1. Exciting
2. Scary
Often the second is a stronger emotion than the first. But we take a large chunk of the fear away by helping you discover all you need to know about that company. Our company search services help you to understand the background of a business, whether you’re relying on them for parts, looking to partner them in distribution or buying from them.
We have all these questions and more in our mind –
• Will they come through with what they promise?
• Are they financially viable?
• Will they be there in 6 months time?
• Is our money safe?
And we should have these questions bouncing around inside our head. Being cautious is not about taking no risks at all. It is about gathering as much relevant information as possible to make informed decisions. That’s what we do in business, isn’t it? We think through our action and make decisions based on the facts.
But with a company search, the facts are not always readily available. You need a partner who will go out there and do this for you, saving you time, effort and money. You need DataGardener.
Let us take the strain here. We have the systems, knowledge and experience to help you gather all the relevant information – and quickly. Time is money in business, we know that; you know that. So, rely on us to get you moving as quickly as possible.
On DataGardener’s platform, simply navigate to the company page by entering the company name or company registration number and look at the ‘financial’ tab where you can see on the table of financial data the latest turnover figures.
For learning more about how to check company turnover, read this article on company turnover.
If you have a vague idea as to the company name – then start typing. It is as simple as that since our search algorithms suggest company names as you are typing.
We provide comprehensive searches by Financial attributes, Location and Industry. You can look companies by Auditors, Accountant, person entitled for charges, bank and even bank sort code.
No they will not, we do not maintain search records.
Yes. Although to be clear we produce two types of reports pertaining to companies in the United Kingdom. Firstly, we can produce a Company Report which is an amalgamation of financial accounts, ratios, debenture information, property information etc. Secondly, we can produce a Credit Report which uses specific information and insights on that company to indicate credit strength and assess the risk associated with them.
