Corrections

How to report

1. Open the correction form, or use the "Report an error" link at the bottom of any profile, which fills in the record for you.
2. State the field, the current value and the correct value.
3. Add a public link that supports the correct value: a filing, a company statement, or reporting by an established outlet.

What happens next

• Requests with a public source are reviewed within two working days.
• If the source supports the change, the record is updated, the new source is added, and the check date is reset.
• If sources disagree, both figures are shown and the record is flagged as a conflict.
• Requests without a public source are kept as leads. We look for a source; we do not publish on a private assurance.

What counts as a material correction

A change to an amount, valuation, status, date, party to a transaction, founder or role is material and is logged with the date, the field, and the old and new values. Typos and formatting are fixed without a log entry.

Status changes are not corrections

When reported talks close, or are called off, the status changes from Reported to Confirmed or Abandoned and the closing source is added. The earlier reporting remains in the source list.

Removal requests

Company records are corrected, not removed, as long as they meet the inclusion criteria and rest on public sources. Requests about personal data are handled under the privacy notice.
