No corporate ownership records on file for this company. Ownership is recorded only where a register or a designating authority publishes it, and coverage is thin for companies outside the jurisdictions with open beneficial-ownership registers.

No people recorded against this company. Officer and ownership data comes from national business registers, and the registers this system reads cover a different set of countries from the sanctions lists — so a sanctioned company frequently has none.

No ownership test is on file for this company. The test reads who holds a company's shares from its shareholder register, and it is run each day for companies with a number in Estonia's, Latvia's or Poland's register. For a company anywhere else, no register read here states its shareholders, so the test cannot be run.

No corporate ownership records on file. This is an absence of evidence, not evidence of a simple structure — see the risk breakdown, where the ownership component is left unscored for exactly this reason.

No people recorded against this company. Officer data comes from national business registers, and a company outside those jurisdictions will have none here even when its officers are publicly known elsewhere.

Shown as text on purpose, and not a link. These addresses come from sanctions and warning lists, where the site is usually the operation being named — the authority published it as evidence, not as a destination.

Nothing to draw: this company has no recorded links to another company on file.

No other company on file shares 98a Kensington High Street London W8 4SG United Kingdom; 4 Moorgate, EC2R 6AL London United Kingdom; 18F Kam Sang Building, 257 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong; 4th Floor, 20 West Nahid Street, Africa Blvd Tehran Iran, London.

Each reading is kept with the methodology version that produced it. A later reading is not a correction of an earlier one — it is a different question asked of more sources.

  Primary source ↗

Records from these sources are matched into one company only on a shared identifier, or by a human reviewer — never on name similarity alone. How this works. Not legal or compliance advice: check the originals before acting on anything here.

TRUE

A source states it. Rendered as a fact, with the source attached.

FALSE

A source explicitly denies it. Rare, and never inferred from silence.

UNKNOWN

Checked, nothing found. Rendered as an em dash, never as 0 or "no".

NOT_ASSESSED

Never checked — nothing was read here. Excluded from coverage, and not counted as clean.

15 records on this company — identifiers, aliases, officers, listings, figures — each carry the source that wrote them and are shown beside their own entries. The fields above are different: the entities table has no source column, so what is shown is every source whose stored payload contains the value verbatim. That is strong evidence, not proof of which write landed it, and where nothing contains the value the row says so instead of naming a plausible source.
