Where Alethia goes further
What else Alethia keeps on the same record.
Each point is part of Alethia today. Where the other product's own pages describe something similar, the point says so and cites them.
Companies House, with your confirmation
Look up a UK company and pull its details, officers, persons with significant control and recent filed documents into the record. A person confirms each pull before anything is saved.
On every plan, Free included.
LEI checked against GLEIF
Look up an entity's Legal Entity Identifier and see GLEIF's record beside your own, with its status, next renewal and the parents GLEIF reports. Nothing is recorded until a person confirms it.
Your own KYC, run as a case
Apply a checklist from the supplied library or your own, attach evidence with the date it runs out, screen parties against the official UK, UN, European Union and US sanctions lists, and record a risk rating and the decision, made by someone other than the person who prepared the case unless your policy allows a single review for low-risk cases.
On the Governance and Enterprise plans.
Supplier due diligence questionnaires
Send a supplier a questionnaire by link. They answer online or in an Excel or Word file, and your team reviews each answer on the supplier's record.
On the Governance and Enterprise plans.
Bank accounts and mandates
Hold each bank account and its mandate against the entity, with the people who can sign and the authority each carries, and checks that flag a problem with any account.
A loan book on the same record
Keep a register of loans and facilities with saved views and Excel or CSV export, a page for each facility with its recorded terms and the agreement beside them, and each entity's loans on its own record.
On the Governance and Enterprise plans.
Held in London
Records and uploaded files are held in Google Cloud's London region, with application servers in Vercel's London region.

| Topic | Diligent Entities | Alethia |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Diligent's entity and subsidiary management product, which Diligent says it developed from Blueprint OneWorld, acquired in 2017. Its product page describes a permissioned corporate record of entity data, ownership, authorities and filings.[2][1] | Entity management software: one register for entities, people, ownership, appointments, documents and structure charts, with a deal pipeline that feeds the same record. |
| Who it is built for | Names corporate secretaries, general counsel, legal operations, finance and tax teams, and compliance and risk officers.[1] | Investment managers first, with their management company, general partners, funds and SPVs. Family offices and corporate groups use the same register. |
| Structure charts | Lists automated structure charts.[1] | Drawn from the ownership records, so the chart changes when the ownership does, and exported for a committee paper or a lender pack. |
| AI | Describes human-led AI that answers from the corporate record with its sources shown, and access through enterprise AI assistants.[1] | Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant to your record, under your own access. On the Governance plan, AI search, extraction and drafting propose and a person decides. |
