Who Are We?
Why Simplified ID?
Simplified.ID is operated by Professional Office Ltd, a Wirral-based company with over 17 years of industry experience. With more than 10,000 clients across 45 countries, and over 55 million searches processed daily, we provide trusted, evidence-based compliance solutions for regulated businesses worldwide.
Originally launched as a partnership in 2006 and incorporated in 2008, Professional Office Ltd specialises in developing technology that makes compliance simpler, faster, and more affordable — without unnecessary complexity.
Our platform was created to help businesses meet a critical compliance requirement: ensuring that clients are not listed on the UK Government’s Financial Sanctions List. While the list itself is public, we recognised that firms often struggle to demonstrate their due diligence — a key expectation from regulators and HM Treasury.
That’s where SanctionsSearch.com and Simplified.ID come in.
Our systems don’t just help you screen clients — they help you prove you’ve done it, providing a clear audit trail for both initial and ongoing checks.
