Frequently Asked Questions

Does KeyBS use the official Companies House API for UK checks?

Yes. We are an authorized Companies House API partner. When you enter a UK company name or number, our system pulls live data directly from the UK government registry — company status, directors, PSC register, and filing history — in real time.

What is the PSC register?

The People with Significant Control (PSC) register is a UK legal requirement for all companies to declare who ultimately owns or controls them. Missing PSC data is a red flag for shell company structures.
