What it does

An investigation, not a lookup

Start from a single company and let the network reveal itself — then bring the analytical tools an investigator actually reaches for.

🕸

Map owners, directors & control

Expand a company into the people and entities behind it, then keep pulling threads — appointments, persons of significant control, shared addresses — until the real structure is on screen. Ownership chains follow through corporate PSCs, including where the trail heads offshore.

Score the risk, transparently

A rule-based Quick Risk Check rates the whole network and shows its working — every indicator, its weight, and the evidence behind it. No black box; you can see exactly why a score is what it is.

explainable · per-indicator breakdown
⚖

Detect named typologies

Surface the patterns analysts care about — phoenix companies, nominee directors, shell layering, cluster incorporations, mass resignations — each flagged with specific evidence and a link to the relevant guidance.

Trace the shortest path

Pick any two entities and see how they connect — the chain of directorships, ownership and shared addresses linking a person to a company several hops away.

◉

Find who matters & who clusters

Centrality ranks the most influential nodes in a network; community detection groups entities that cluster together. Between them, the structure of a network becomes legible at a glance.

Why it's different

Current, transparent, and deep

Three choices that set RiskTracer apart from both the lightweight free tools and the heavyweight enterprise platforms.

01

Always live

Every search queries the Companies House register directly, so you never work from a stale or partial snapshot. The company incorporated this morning is already there.

02

Nothing hidden

The risk detectors are rule-based and fully explainable. Every flag shows the evidence and the threshold it crossed — defensible findings, not an opaque score.

03

Built for investigators

Entity resolution, typologies, centrality, communities and path-finding in one place — the analytical depth of an enterprise tool, without the enterprise price or procurement.

FAQ

Questions

Where does the data come from? ▾
RiskTracer queries the official UK Companies House register live, alongside the Director Disqualifications register. Because nothing is cached, results reflect the register as it stands right now. Further authoritative public sources — sanctions and PEP lists, beneficial-ownership and property registers — are being added.
Is this the same as Companies House's own website? ▾
No. Companies House shows you one company at a time. RiskTracer builds the network around it — the people, the entities they connect to, the shared addresses — and runs analysis over that whole structure to surface risk and patterns you'd never spot reading filings one by one.
Who is it for? ▾
Anyone who needs to understand a UK corporate network quickly and rigorously — due-diligence and compliance professionals, investigators, journalists, and analysts at smaller firms for whom the enterprise platforms are overkill.
How should I read the risk scores? ▾
As a structured starting point, not a verdict. The scores and typology flags are rule-based signals with the evidence shown alongside them. They're designed to direct your attention and support your own judgement — the conclusions remain yours.
Does it cover companies outside the UK? ▾
The core data is UK Companies House today. Where ownership chains lead to foreign corporate entities, cross-jurisdiction sources are on the roadmap to follow those links further.
