Why OSINT Investigations Take Too Long Today

Even when you know where to look, UK public records are scattered across dozens of sources. Each has its own rules, blind spots, and search limitations, making it easy to miss something critical.

Group 748

Scattered Records

Electoral roll, Companies House, planning portals, rental registers, and insolvencies all live in different places.

Group 747

Incomplete Access

Some registers cannot be searched by name, some require address lookups, and others hide key details like disqualified directors.

Time Wasted

Jumping between multiple portals and vendors takes hours and still risks missing addresses, assets, or hidden connections.
