Why check the SPV before sourcing
Lenders want to know who controls a limited company borrower, what is already charged and whether the company is a clean special purpose vehicle. Finding an unexpected charge, or a missing shareholder after the case is submitted costs days. The company check puts the Companies House picture in front of you before you source.
Questions brokers ask
How do I see the charges on a company?
Search the company name or number. The company check lists every charge registered at Companies House, outstanding and satisfied, with the charge holder and creation date.
How do I find the shareholders of an SPV?
The PSC panel lists people with significant control (25%+ of shares or votes) from Companies House. Most lenders require every PSC to be a guarantor or applicant.
Can I search by director?
Yes. Search a person to see their appointments across companies, which helps spot other SPVs and an existing portfolio.
Is the company check free?
It is included with every DAS Source plan, which starts with a 7-day free trial.
