Frequently Asked Questions

EmployerCheck is a free employer intelligence platform that helps UK job seekers research companies before accepting a role. We score employers across five dimensions using data from 13+ official sources.

Anyone considering a job offer, changing careers, or wanting to understand a company’s health. It’s built specifically for prospective employees, not investors or credit agencies.

Yes. Every company report is free and available instantly with no sign-up required. We also offer a premium full report with AI-powered analysis for £4.99.

Glassdoor shows employee opinions. EmployerCheck shows hard data — financial filings, director history, regulatory records, and accreditations. We score companies on what the numbers say, not what people say.

We score companies 0–100 across five dimensions: Financial Health (35%), Stability & Governance (25%), Growth Trajectory (15%), Culture Indicators (15%), and Transparency (10%). See our methodology page for full details.

Red flags are automatically detected warning signs such as active insolvency, overdue accounts, high director turnover, or regulatory enforcement action. Each flag is rated by severity.

Company data is refreshed every 24 hours. Scores are recalculated each time a report is viewed.

The full report includes everything in the free report plus: AI-generated executive summary, detailed financial analysis, director deep dive, ownership map, event timeline, peer comparison, and PDF export.

All data comes from official UK public registers including Companies House, HMRC Gender Pay Gap Service, HSE, FCA, CQC, and others. See our data sources page for the full list.

We pull data directly from official government APIs. While we strive for accuracy, our scores reflect the data companies have filed — if filings are late or incomplete, this is itself a signal.

We don’t have access to internal company data, private financial information, or individual employee experiences. Our analysis is based solely on publicly available official records.

We cover all 5.5 million UK-registered companies. If you can’t find one, try searching by company number instead of name, or check that the company is registered with Companies House.
