Short answer
Counterparty verification checks whether a business exists and is active, whether its core data is consistent, and whether available financial, legal or payment-risk information indicates elevated risk. eVerification brings these signals together in one report with an assessment and recommendation.

Frequently asked questions
How do you verify a counterparty?
A robust check combines company registry and tax verification with financial data, debt signals and insolvency or legal proceedings. A registry entry or active VAT number alone is not a complete risk assessment.
How quickly will I receive the report?
New requests are processed on business days, typically within 30 minutes during service hours. A report already in the database may be available immediately.
What company data do I need?
Usually a VAT/VIES number, registration number or full legal name is enough.
Can you verify foreign companies?
Yes. eVerification covers Poland and many European markets. The exact scope depends on reliable sources available in each country.
Does the report guarantee payment?
No. The report reduces information asymmetry and supports a commercial decision, but it is not payment insurance or a guarantee.
