Over 500 UK business owners told us what’s broken
Your bank asked for it. Your accountant asked for it. Every new partner asks for it. It's called due diligence — and right now, it means repeating the same paperwork from scratch, every time.
Co.ID ends the cycle. One digital business identity. Share it with anyone.

When asked to describe the process, these are the words business owners chose:
— UK business owner, on the verification process
Co.ID is your digital business passport. A secure, tamper-proof record of your company — accepted by banks, partners, and government.
1
Join for £1/month
Sign up and complete your business profile once through our secure process. Company details, director information, compliance records — all captured and sealed.
2
Own your identity
Your credentials live in your Co.ID wallet. You control what gets shared, with whom, and when. Full audit trail, tamper-proof, cryptographically secured.
3
Share instantly
When a bank, partner, or client needs to check your business — share your Co.ID in seconds. No more printing. No more scanning. No more starting from scratch.
We didn’t build Co.ID and hope businesses would want it. We asked them first.
Large companies have compliance teams, legal departments, and established track records. A startup founder has a folder of PDFs and hope. Co.ID gives every business — from day one — the same credibility infrastructure that established corporates take for granted.
41%

18%

69%
would use a digital business identity for govt contracts
