```

Example prompt: Can you run a full risk check on UK company number 12345678 and tell me if it's legitimate, actively filing, and FCA-regulated — I need the risk score and any red flags before I sign a contract with them.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic, auditable risk verdict on a specific UK company using its Companies House number — particularly when you need FCA regulation cross-checking alongside filing and officer health in a single call. Prefer it over manual Companies House lookups or generic business data APIs when you need a structured, scoreable JSON output with named flags and a plain-English summary for agent-readable due diligence pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent company number returns an error or empty result
- Company not found in Companies House database
- FCA cross-check unavailable or times out
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded
- Malformed company number format rejected

## How this service works

Should an agent trust this UK company? Returns a 0-100 verdict and low_risk/caution/high_risk band, with every rule that fired named in the response and the register value that triggered it: STATUS_DISSOLVED, STRIKE_OFF_ACTIVE, ACCOUNTS_OVERDUE, NO_ACTIVE_DIRECTORS, OFFICER_CHURN, FS_SIC_NOT_FCA and 9 more. Rules are deterministic and published, so you can audit the verdict or re-weight it. Never model-scored.

## Output

A JSON object containing: a 0-100 numeric risk score, named boolean or labelled flags covering filing health, officer stability, and FCA regulation status, Companies House registration details, and a two-sentence plain-English narrative summarising the verdict — all computed by deterministic rules.
