A company name on a quotation is a starting point. Before you build a business relationship, you need to connect that name to a legal entity and understand what its records actually say. For Iranian companies, this means working with domestic registration information and reading changes in their proper sequence.

Iranlook’s approach centres on direct access to Iranian domestic data sources and an English report focused on the company you are checking. The value is practical: local source information becomes an organised reference for an international business decision.

Why a recent change can matter

Imagine that a supplier sends a contract bearing the name of a managing director you saw in an older document. A later registration announcement may record a new appointment or different signing arrangements. Both documents can be authentic, while describing different periods in the company’s history.

The same issue arises with a registered address, company name, capital or business activities. Reading an isolated entry can miss the change that explains a discrepancy. A useful assessment connects the original information with subsequent notices and identifies the latest available recorded position.

Direct access is only part of freshness

Direct access to domestic sources reduces reliance on an intermediary’s summary. It also helps a researcher return to the underlying record when names, dates or roles require clarification. This is especially useful when the original information is in Persian and the reader works in English.

However, direct access does not make a record instantaneous. A company event, its filing, public publication and retrieval can occur on different dates. Source availability and publication delays can affect what can be established. A report should therefore be read as a dated view of available evidence, rather than a promise that every recent event is already public.

What to ask about the evidence

  • Which legal entity does the record concern, and do its identifiers match the proposed contracting party?
  • What is the date of the underlying notice or entry?
  • When was the information obtained or checked?
  • Are there subsequent notices, corrections or conflicting entries?
  • Which details remain unavailable or need confirmation from the company?

Local interpretation makes records usable

Iranian calendar dates, Persian names and different English transliterations can complicate comparisons. A director’s appointment is also a different fact from ownership or authority to sign a particular document. Keeping those distinctions clear helps your team ask better questions.

Iranlook combines its Iran focus with manual preparation of a structured English report. The purpose is to make recorded company identity, management and relevant changes easier to understand in the context of your proposed relationship.

Use the report at the right point in your decision

Start with the national ID or registration number where available. Compare the report with the quotation and proposed contract, then ask the counterparty to clarify differences. If signing authority is material to your decision, request the relevant supporting documents before finalising terms.
