Check whether a company was added after a connection failure

Review the company list before creating a second record.

Updated 2026-11-11

If the connection drops while adding a company, the visible failure does not always tell you whether a record was created before the response was lost. Review the company list before starting another add flow.

Keep the original form open when possible and retry its supported action after the connection is stable. The add flow retains the current request reference so it can check for an existing result. Opening several new forms removes that simple context for you as the user.

Check for the exact legal company name and company type under Manage company. If it appears, open its Business profile and finish the remaining details. Do not rename a duplicate simply to make the list look cleaner before determining which record holds the intended work.

If you remain uncertain, contact support with the company name and approximate submission time. Include the error message and whether the record later appeared. Keep company identifiers separate when more than one exists. Deleting a company is a different operation with stronger consequences and should not be the first troubleshooting step.
