Company Referencing 

Letting a property to a company is not guaranteed income. In the current economic climate it is more important than ever to ensure that the company you let to is a good risk.

Is your customer likely to go out of business owing you money? Will a customer delay payments, costing you time and money as you chase the payments? A Company Reference by FLS can help you avoid these difficult situations. Each Company Reference includes:

• Confirmation of registered office, trading addresses and date of incorporation
• Verification of business activities
• Details of any previous names or subsidiaries
• Full analysis of profit and loss account and balance sheet
• County Court judgement search
