The Limitguard Chrome extension checks the company behind the page you are looking at, while you prospect. Open it on a company website or a LinkedIn company page: it fills in what the page shows, you confirm, and one click tells you whether the company is real, active and safe to deal with.
The extension is in review in the Chrome Web Store. Once it is published, search for Limitguard in the store to install it.

​
Set up

1

Install and pin

Install the extension, then open the puzzle icon in the Chrome toolbar and pin Limitguard so it is one click away.
2

Add your API key

Create a key in the dashboard under Keys, open the extension, click Add your API key and paste it. The key is stored on this device only, never synced and never shown in full again. Checks are paid from the credit of the key’s workspace.
3

Check a company

Open the extension on a company page. Check the filled-in details, edit anything that is wrong, and click Check this company.

​
What you see

Before a check the popup shows the price of one check and your credit left. After the check:
  • the verdict: real and active, inactive, not found, ambiguous, unverifiable or sanctioned
  • a risk word: Low risk, Review first or High risk (see below)
  • the register status, legal form and start date
  • the VAT number: valid, not valid or not checked
  • sanctions: a possible match, no match, or not screened
  • the lead score from 0 to 100 and any signals behind it
  • a link to run a full check of the company in your dashboard (that check has its own price and runs only when you click there)
A check is a lead check (POST /v1/leads/verify); its price is on the Pricing page.

​
What it fills in

The extension reads a page only when you open it there. It suggests:
  • Website domain from the page address.
  • Company name from the site name the page declares, or on a LinkedIn company page from the page heading. On LinkedIn it reads the company name only, never people or posts.
  • KVK, KBO or VAT number from the text at the bottom of the page. A KVK number is taken only right after a word such as KvK or Kamer van Koophandel; a Belgian enterprise number must pass its checksum.
  • Country from the number it found, else the .nl or .be domain (the default is the Netherlands).
Under the form it says where each value came from. You can change every field.

​
No number on the page

  • Netherlands: a company name is enough. Type the name and click Check: Limitguard looks it up in the KVK register and checks it when exactly one company matches. If several match, the answer is ambiguous; add the KVK number.
  • Belgium: a check needs the 10-digit KBO number. A Belgian VAT number is BE plus that number, so BE0460370809 gives 0460370809. Belgian websites must show the enterprise number, usually on their legal, disclaimer or terms page: open the extension on that page and it fills the number in.
  • Only a website: a domain alone does not identify a company in the register. Add the name (Netherlands) or the number.

Privacy and permissions

Nothing from the page is sent until you click Check this company. When you open the extension it asks Limitguard only for the price and, with your key, your credit left. A check sends only the company name, number, VAT number, website and country you confirmed. The extension has no analytics or tracking and loads no code from other servers. Full details are in the privacy policy. Remove your key in the extension’s Settings, or uninstall the extension, at any time.
