🚨 3,500 dead people listed as UK company directors — a shocking revelation from Companies House records. A recent investigation has uncovered "zombie directors" still officially running businesses, exposing gaping holes in corporate oversight and risk management.


⚠️ Why it matters: These errors can mask fraud, enable identity abuse, or conceal who’s really in control of a firm.


🔍 Watchdog was built to tackle exactly this kind of problem. Our platform allows users to track registered individuals at UK firms and get real-time alerts when directors or shareholders change at Companies House.
