01 / Intelligence

Intelligence starts where the company record ends.

Clarengate connects ownership, directors, group companies, filed accounts and material events into one working view. See where control sits, how the people around a business are connected and what deserves a closer look.

Diligence context

Read the context around control.

Filed accounts show financial posture. Charges show secured lenders and receivers. Grants and university links explain research and funding relationships. Formal legal events show changes that may alter the assessment.

Evidence before inference

Each signal stays qualified by what was filed, when it applied and what could not be determined.

02 / Review

The questions behind a business check.

Organised around the questions a diligence analyst must answer and document.
