Check a company before you sign. Registry, history and press, in one report.

Company due diligence checks that a business is who it says it is, still active, and free of obvious red flags. With Agentik, your AI confirms its legal identity with GLEIF, reads its official entry in the French Sirene registry, checks how long its website has existed with the Wayback Machine, and searches the news and the web for lawsuits or liquidation with Serper.

Step by step

How to run due diligence on a company in Claude or ChatGPT. Step by step.

Give this to your agent
Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: company due diligence. Run due diligence on a company. First ask me for its name, country and website, and its LEI or registration number if I have it. Confirm its legal identity with gleif/lei-record. If it is French, read its registry entry with recherche-entreprises/search; if it is US-listed, read its filings with sec-edgar/company-filings. Check its website’s first and latest snapshots with wayback/availability. Search the news and the web for lawsuits, liquidation or fraud with serper/news and serper/search. For a US business without filings, offer a KYB check with exa/baselayer and quote it first. Finish with a report (identity and status, registry facts, website history, press, red flags with links) and the questions I should ask before signing. Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

The prompt

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor.

Once Agentik is connected, your AI asks for your inputs, checks each tool and shows the price before anything runs.

Or ask it your way

  • “Check this French supplier before we pay the deposit: SIREN 123 456 789.”
  • “Is this company still active, and who are its directors?”
  • “How long has this vendor’s website existed?”
  • “Any lawsuits or liquidation news about this distributor?”

What it costs

At most $0.05. From one balance.

Each provider’s own price, with 0% markup. Each call reserves at most the amount shown, is billed for what it actually used, and the rest is released. A call that ends in an error is refunded.

Good to know

  • This is a first check from public sources: not legal or financial advice, and not a replacement for a regulated KYC process.
  • A clean report means nothing turned up in these sources, not that nothing exists.

When to use something else

For regulated KYC or AML checks, use a licensed provider; Agentik gathers the public evidence quickly, before you commit.

Questions

Still unsure? Ask us.
