Start with the official register
Use the Customs MSOS register for verification. Use this site to discover candidates, then check the regulator source and record the date.
Reconcile the counterparty
Compare the result with the legal entity in your contract and payment instructions. A brand may differ from the licensee; ask for evidence of their relationship. A similar name is insufficient.
Keep a verification record
Retain the official result, licence identifier and available status or premises information. List unresolved discrepancies before proceeding. A register entry does not validate every advertised service or payment account.
