FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our directorship checks and processes.
A directorship check is a type of background check that verifies whether a candidate holds, or has previously held, a directorship position in a company. It provides insights into business affiliations, disqualifications, and potential conflicts of interest that help organisations assess their suitability for a role.
A global directorship check typically takes around one to two days. However, if there are complications or if additional verification is needed, the process could slow down significantly.
