About SimpleVATChecker

SimpleVATChecker was born out of frustration — and a mission to make doing business safer, smarter, and simpler.

👋 Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Radoslav A. — a full-stack software developer passionate about building tools that empower businesses. I’ve spent years working across backend and frontend systems, but the inspiration for SimpleVATChecker came from a painful experience: getting burned by inaccurate or fraudulent VAT information.

A few years ago, I encountered a supplier that appeared trustworthy — everything checked out at first glance. But behind the scenes, their VAT number had been deregistered, and I ended up footing the bill in lost tax credits and legal stress. HMRC wasn't exactly... helpful.

That moment stuck with me. So I built this tool to make it easier for others to verify VAT info, spot red flags, and avoid the same trap. Whether you're a freelancer, a small business, or just cautious — you deserve clarity.
