Invoice, not face

We check the company behind the person you’re about to pay.

Yard Check checks the company behind the person a business is about to pay, so the face on site and the name on the invoice are the same living firm.

I help firms not pay the wrong person. Public records only. A short written note you can keep.

Do they match?

We check the payee — live, thin, mismatch, or look again.

What we do

You give us a name — usually a company from an invoice, sometimes a sole trader you’re about to pay. We use public information only and tell you, in plain English, whether that payee looks live, thin, mismatched, or worth a second look.

We put our name on a short written note — four to fifteen lines. That is the product.

Who it’s for

Owner-operated firms that pay other firms and people — builders, trades, letting agents, landlords, property maintenance.

How it works

Send one name. We check the public record. You get a short written note. First name is free.

Free first check

Send one name. We check the public record the same day or next day and send a short written note. No contract.

Or a sole trader’s name, if that’s who you’re about to pay.
