TrustVerify checks a UK company and its directors against Companies House records, maps the people who own or control it, and screens the company, directors and owners against sanctions lists. Each check returns approve, review, step-up or block with an evidence reference, so your UK marketplace has a recorded decision for every business seller.
KYB (Know Your Business) means confirming that a business is real, who runs it and who owns or controls it before you work with it. For a UK marketplace, KYB is the business-seller version of KYC: it checks the company record, its directors and its owners at sign-up, rather than one individual's identity document and selfie.
Yes. TrustVerify maps people with significant control (PSC) and ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) using Companies House data, and returns director, PSC and UBO details with the check. The GOV.UK guidance on people with significant control explains what UK companies must declare. Owners and directors can then be screened in the same check.
Yes. Company names, directors and beneficial owners are screened against sanctions, PEP and watchlists, including OFAC, UN, EU and UK lists, with adverse media screening as well. Any match can be routed to a manual review queue, so your team decides on borderline cases and the outcome is recorded with an evidence reference.
Yes. You configure the rules and thresholds for your marketplace, for example which checks every business seller must pass and which results need a person to look at them. Cases that need a person go to a manual review queue, and every final decision is recorded as approve, review, step-up or block.
