Know before a customer goes under
Bad debt starts the day a customer files for insolvency, not the day the invoice bounces. Watch insolvencies, dissolutions and sanctions as they are published, and match them to the companies you work with.
For credit controllers, finance teams, B2B marketplaces, lenders and compliance teams.

How it works
From event to action
- An insolvency case, dissolution or sanctions entry is published.
- Your agent matches the company against your customers and suppliers.
- On a match it pauses credit, flags open invoices and alerts the account owner.
- It files the claim deadline from the notice in your calendar.
Wake your agents up. Each event can start Claude Code, Codex or your own script the moment it lands, one by one or in batches: no polling, no cron, no dashboard to check.
Events carry text from public sources. Run agents that act on them isolated, with only the access the task needs. Run them safely

About this use case
Which countries have insolvency events?
Insolvency proceedings are live for the UK and France, and company dissolutions for the UK, Spain, France, Switzerland and Latvia. More insolvency registers follow demand.
How do you match my customers?
Events carry register numbers and a stable entity id, so a match is exact where the register gives an id, not a guess on the name.
Is this a credit score?
No. It is the underlying public facts, as they happen, for your own rules or agent to act on.
