## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability celerapi-company-insolvency-lookup-2b0f4af3
```

Example prompt: Can you check the insolvency records on Companies House for UK company number 12345678 — I need to know if they've ever been in administration or liquidation before I sign a contract with them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, authoritative insolvency data for a specific UK-registered company by its Companies House company number. Prefer this over scraped or cached sources when freshness and provenance matter — such as in due diligence, credit risk assessment, or legal compliance workflows. It is pay-per-request via x402, making it cost-effective for on-demand lookups without a subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent company number returns an error or empty data object
- Company has no insolvency records — returns success:true with empty data (not an error)
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol prevents the request
- Companies House API downtime may result in stale or unavailable data
- Malformed company number format causes a validation error

## How this service works

Resolve companies, legal entities and financial reference data using authoritative sources. Machine-native, pay per request, no subscription.

## Output

A JSON object containing structured insolvency data for the specified UK company, including insolvency cases and proceedings sourced live from UK Companies House, a success flag, a completeness indicator, any warnings about data quality or gaps, and provenance metadata confirming the source registry, jurisdiction (GB), and data freshness.
