Verify Who You Are Dealing With

Visit SSM Search official page, enter the company name or registration number at the search bar.

A basic name search to confirm a company exists is typically available free on SSM Search platforms. Accessing the full company profile – including directors, shareholders, financial history, and certified documents – requires a paid report. Pricing varies by report type.

A standard SSM company profile includes: full legal name, 12-digit registration number, date of incorporation, entity type, current status, registered address, Company Secretary details, list of current and previous directors with appointment dates, shareholder listing with percentages, share capital structure, and the dates of the most recent statutory filings.

Confirm the company name on the invoice matches the SSM-registered name exactly. Verify the registration number resolves to the same entity. Check the status is Active. Review the director list to confirm the person you are dealing with is actually registered. Review the filing history for compliance.

Do not release payment or sign contracts with a struck-off entity.

Yes. SSM-authorised platforms support both the legacy pre-2016 alphanumeric format and the current 12-digit MyCoID format. Enter either format and the system will resolve to the correct entity.
