    You can find out if a company like this is linked by copying either the consumer licence or company registration number into google and it will tell you all company's linked to that number.

    It wont mean 100% that they are not owned by the same company though !

    They may trade under different consumer licences, it is quite unlikely so I think your best bet is to pay money into there account direct and then you should be covered
