DETECTED LTD
DETECTED LTD is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 12781602, with its registered office at 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London, W1W 5PF. Incorporated on 30 July 2020, Companies House records the company as active.

According to the company’s own published information, DETECTED LTD trades as Detected and operates a trust and compliance platform that helps organisations verify and onboard businesses and individuals globally, addressing Know Your Business (KYB) requirements. Its platform combines case management for risk profiling, screening and compliance workflows; data orchestration that aggregates information from risk, fraud and compliance data providers; and configurable onboarding workflows. DETECTED LTD’s website states that the platform is used by organisations in finance and foreign exchange, logistics, gaming, online marketplaces and payment processing, and names clients including Western Union, Visa, AWS and Salesforce.
DETECTED LTD announced the launch of a US operation in March 2023, alongside its existing London base, to support international demand for its platform. Press coverage from 2022 and 2023 reported multiple funding rounds for the Detected business, including a March 2022 raise led by Love Ventures and further investment from Thomson Reuters Ventures, reportedly totalling around £6 million in seed funding; it was not confirmed from company filings whether these amounts were raised directly by DETECTED LTD or a related entity. Companies House recorded new allotments of DETECTED LTD shares in January 2024 and October 2025. DETECTED LTD’s own shares are not admitted to trading on any stock exchange, and as a small company filing total exemption full accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, filed 29 September 2025, no independently verified turnover or employee-count figures specific to this legal entity were identified during research.

Ultimate beneficial ownership
Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control register currently records an active statement, notified 30 March 2023, that DETECTED LTD knows or has reasonable cause to believe there is no registrable person or registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company — meaning no individual or entity is currently confirmed to hold more than 25% of shares or voting rights, or otherwise exercise significant control. Two earlier corporate persons with significant control are recorded as ceased: True Altitude Ltd (company number 11214968), which held between 25% and 50% of shares from 30 July 2020 until 30 March 2023, and Chenflow Limited (company number 12064784), which held between 25% and 50% of shares and voting rights, together with the right to appoint or remove directors, from 30 July 2020 until 31 March 2021. No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner behind either entity was independently verified from the sources reviewed.
