Why conduct a global bankruptcy search?

The challenge of overseas bankruptcy checks

Whilst checking the UK bankruptcy register is relatively straightforward by using the UK government bankruptcy and insolvency register, identifying bankruptcy status internationally is more complex.

Each country has its own legal systems, privacy rules, and data availability. That’s where our expertise comes in.

Where beneficiaries are resident overseas, things become much more complicated, and this is where our experience really pays off.

At Anglia Research, we’ve spent years navigating the nuances of global registers and official sources. Our team understands how to obtain reliable results quickly and with minimal disruption to your workload.
