ProbeDigital centralises competitive intelligence, deal sourcing, and private company financials into one auditable workflow — purpose-built for UK corporate due diligence under ECCTA 2023.
The tools M&A teams already rely on — PitchBook, Capital IQ, D&B — were built for deal sourcing and financial benchmarking. None were architected for the UK regulatory compliance detail that ECCTA 2023 now demands. By the time a target reaches legal DD, the gap has already distorted your risk calculus.
No mainstream M&A platform surfaces whether a UK target's directors have completed mandatory identity verification under ECCTA 2023. An unverified director is now a material compliance liability — not a governance nicety.
Global platforms give shallow UK PSC data. Beneficial ownership granularity — linking ultimate controllers, shadow directors, and offshore structures — requires authoritative Companies House depth that generic databases don't provide.
Registered charges and County Court Judgments are core to UK KYC — but buried or absent in legacy platforms. Uncovering them in legal DD, after price is agreed, creates renegotiation risk and warranty disputes.
Most teams stitch together 4–6 platforms across a deal lifecycle. ProbeDigital anchors the compliance and ownership layer — the one every other platform leaves exposed.
Build your acquisition pipeline with sector, size, and ownership filters. Identify targets before they enter a competitive process.
Before advancing a deal, validate that every director is ECCTA-compliant and the ownership structure matches disclosed filings.
Generate exportable compliance documentation and monitor portfolio companies for post-close regulatory changes.
PitchBook, Capital IQ, and D&B all score zero on director verification. ProbeDigital fills the compliance layer no legacy platform was built for.
