Check a supplier properly, before you onboard them
Company status, officers, controlling interests and insolvency history pulled straight from the public registers, gathered into one summary, and sent to the person who has to sign it off.

- Procurement and finance teams
- Sources
- Companies House, Charity Commission
- Works with
- Xero, QuickBooks, your approval chain
Due diligence that depends on somebody having time
The checks are known and the registers are public, but the work is manual, so it is done thoroughly for large suppliers and barely at all for small ones.
- Copy and paste. Company numbers are looked up one at a time, in a browser.
- Inconsistent depth. The same check is done differently by different people.
- No re-checking. A supplier is verified once, at onboarding, and never again.
- Approval by email. The evidence and the sign-off live in separate places.
The register, on tap
Flomation queries the public registers directly, assembles a summary against your own rules, and routes it for approval with the evidence attached.
Every check, every time
Profile, filing history, officers, people with significant control and insolvency history, gathered in one pass for every supplier regardless of size.
Your rules, applied consistently
Flag dissolved or recently incorporated companies, overdue filings, or an officer that matches your own conflict-of-interest list.
Re-checked on a schedule
Run the same flow monthly across your supplier list and raise only what has changed since the last time it ran.
