Why a professional-looking website is not enough
A convincing website takes an afternoon to build. Logos, stock photos of a team, a generic “about us” and a contact form say little about who is actually behind it.
What is harder to fake is the paper trail: a registration in an official company register, a legal notice that names the company and matches that register, a domain that has existed for years, and a history of real customers talking about it.
AnyFact gathers those signals, links each one to its source, and says plainly what could not be verified. The result is a trust score with its reasons, not an accusation: a low score means “check further before you pay”.
Does this sound familiar?
- An online shop you have never heard of sells well below the usual price.
- A trading, crypto or investment platform promises steady returns.
- A supplier or a recruiter contacted you first and asks for a payment or your documents.
- The site has no legal notice, or the company it names does not seem to exist.
- You want to know who runs a site before you share your details.
Here's what we check
Enter the website
Optionally add the registration number, the country and the company name.
Registries, site, reputation
Up to 12 pages are read; the company is looked up in public registries; domain, Safe Browsing and web reputation are checked.
A trust score with its reasons
A score from 0 to 100 — high, medium or low, or “not enough information” — with every check and its source.
How to read the result
The company was found and matches the site, its operators are identified, and nothing worrying came up. Not a guarantee: keep normal caution.
Some signals are reassuring, others are missing or unclear. The report lists which, so you know what to check yourself.
Several things could not be verified or point the wrong way. A reason to check further before paying or signing, not an accusation.
Too few checks could be run (site unreachable, nothing found). We say so rather than guess a score.
Every report lists the checks that were run, those that could not be, and the source of each fact.
Before you check
Is the score proof that a business is legitimate, or not?▼
No. It is an indication built from public signals, not a legal or financial assessment. A young or small business can be legitimate, and an established-looking site can still be fraudulent. Use the report to decide what to verify next.
Which countries can you check in an official registry?▼
France, the United Kingdom, US public companies (SEC EDGAR) and any entity with an LEI, worldwide. For other countries, including Germany, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Israel and Canada, there is no free registry we can query in this version: we show the registration numbers printed on the site as found, marked not verified.
Do you show who runs the business?▼
Only when a public registry or the company’s own pages (legal notice, about, team) name them, with a link to that source. If our AI cannot confirm anyone, the report says so and our team takes the case manually, with an answer within 48 hours: we never guess a name, and an unidentified operator lowers the score.
What does a low score mean?▼
That several things could not be verified or point the wrong way: no registration confirmed, no legal notice, a very recent domain, a Google Safe Browsing listing, or repeated complaints in search results. It is a reason to check further, not a judgement. For investment platforms, always check the regulator of your own country before sending money.
What do you not check?▼
We do not log in, fill in forms, buy anything or contact the company. We do not read court records, credit ratings or private databases. Regulation is checked against the UK FCA register only; other claims, such as “regulated by CySEC”, are reported as not verifiable in this version.
How is AI used in the report?▼
Claude, Anthropic’s model, reviews the facts we extracted and short excerpts of the pages. Each of its findings must quote the text or the page it is based on; findings without evidence are dropped, and its effect on the score is capped. It also writes the summary, from the checks only.
What does it cost?▼
Any free account can run a Business Check (3 credits, out of 10 free credits a month) and see a preview: how many checks were run and how many warning signs were found. The full report — trust score, company, people, every source and the PDF — is part of the Business plan ($49 a month): unlimited Business Checks and AI checks under a fair-use limit of 5,000 credits a month, and a manual review by our team, with an answer within 48 hours, when the AI cannot confirm everything or when you are not satisfied with a result. When you upgrade, the checks you already ran unlock.
