Q3 2023

Having had a number of negative experiences with personal vehicle purchases in the past, the founders of Vcheck were inspired to create a company committed to providing customers with the best and most accurate information on the vehicles they want to buy. Through this, it helps them make informed decisions when it comes to purchasing vehicles, ultimately protecting them from fraud and scams. In its comprehensive reports, Vcheck assesses more than 50 data points, including outstanding finance, stolen vehicle enquiries, written-off status, scrapped status, importation and exportation, number plate changes, ownership history, and more. Its data is retrieved from officially licensed partners, who source their information from companies such as The Association of British Insurers, Police National Computer (PNC), Experian, DVSA, and DVLA. Vcheck is fully bootstrapped, with no investors behind the business. This means that the company is able to do things differently and challenge the practices of big industry players by highlighting what they are doing wrong. Over the years, the company has discovered several discrepancies in the official systems used by industry leaders and has proved that other ‘HPI Checks’ are not as comprehensive as they claim to be. Vcheck was the first provider in the UK to concentrate on data that is commonly missed by major provenance providers. For example, it has added to its offerings a salvage history check, which is a report about the history of a vehicle that has been declared salvage by an insurance company. Currently, Vcheck is one of few vehicle history providers in the UK offering access to salvage history going back to 2015 for free with its reports. As a small business, Vcheck has faced a number of challenges in fighting bigger players in the industry for the market. Despite this, the company has found that offering unique information missed by other providers has been the key to achieving success and growth. Now, Vcheck is an established player and has gained enough of a reputation to be considered a business partner by major trade and car industry members. The biggest challenge Vcheck has faced was to persuade other business and domestic customers to trust it with their vehicle reports. Being backed by an industry-leading 40k data guarantee, the company was able to gain their trust. The hard work Vcheck dedicates to enhancing its service continues to pay off, with its customer base increasing monthly. As with any business, the staff at Vcheck are crucial to its success. The company provides them with all the tools they need, from hardware and software to training, enabling them to complete their jobs effectively and with the utmost confidence in their abilities. In hiring, Vcheck always aims to employ people with a background in the automotive industry. However, this is not strictly necessary since all colleagues are happy to help newcomers if they need a hand. Furthermore, as a flexible company without strict working hours, Vcheck can often provide customer assistance long after its official business hours have come to an end, with many staff members choosing to work later shifts than usual. This further enhances the customer experience. As a result of its excellent services, Vcheck has been awarded the title of Best Vehicle History Checking Services Provider as part of the Greater London Enterprise Awards 2023. In the years to come, Vcheck plans to focus on the continuous improvement of the data it offers, always bringing new information to its customers. As other players in the industry catch up with its existing offerings, the company is working hard to add exciting new features to its reports. In the long term, Vcheck plans to release a full-blown trade/dealer offering, with a dedicated portal for all B2B customers. We offer our sincere congratulations to Vcheck for its success in this year’s Greater London Enterprise Awards and look forward to seeing how its plans unfold in the coming months and years.
