CONNECT THE RECORDS

Searching finds records. Connecting them reveals intelligence.

Public records rarely tell the full story in isolation. Canvas connects people, companies, addresses and other entities into a visual investigation, making it easier to identify significant relationships, explain findings and continue enquiries over time.

01
ISOLATED RECORDS Separate results

Useful records appear independently, leaving the investigator to work out which results belong together.

A surfaced path identifies a route for investigation. It does not establish wrongdoing or prove that every relationship remains current.

Search results become an investigation. The original records remain available so each entity, relationship and surfaced path can be checked before it informs an assessment.

Build, expand and continue the investigation in Canvas.

Start with a subject, add relevant public records and preserve the full network as an editable investigation you can return to as enquiries develop.

Search for any UK entity by inputting a single data point as a node. Canvas’s link chart interface allows you to specify exactly which type of data you want to query, such as directors, shareholders, or electoral roll entries.

Get targeted results in seconds. Canvas processes your query through trusted, up-to-date data sources, and returns the relevant entities, all linked and visualised in a dynamic chart.

 

Refine the results to those that matter

Refine your search results by drilling down into each connection. For example, after identifying a business director, you can click through to explore other directors linked to that business, their contact details, and associated entities.

Export results and take informed action

Evaluate the final link chart to understand the relationships between entities. Export results, and keep building your investigation by adding further connections to the chart. Use the insights to drive your next steps.
