How can I find out if a company is genuine?

Question

I want to find out if http://www.glowmedical.co.uk/ is genuine.

Answer 1

if the company is a limited company then you can look it up on companies house website which is  http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/

Answer 2

Obtain Annual Report and go through the contents.

If it is a UK Based company you may have to seek the services of Legal luminary to find the status of the company as registered or not.

Request your Banker to obtain Credit Report on the said company. This is normally undertaken if you are a recognised business entrepreneur with proper credentials.

Genuine means proper formalities having been complied with by the Promoters into the formation of the company. But the said status does not guarantee the activities or the performances of the company from their said objectives to be clear, transparent or conducive to business transactions.

Only in depth assessment, scrutiny of Annual Reports, Financial data, Audit reports will reveal the health of the company.
