Companies House Enrichment — UK Company Directors & Filings

Enrich UK companies from the official Companies House API: profile, SIC codes, current and resigned directors and officers, and the latest filing history in one row per company. Search by name, company number, SIC code, incorporation date or location. $5 per 1,000 companies.

Get UK company data with real depth — not just names and addresses. This Companies House scraper/API returns fully-enriched company records: registered details, SIC codes, current and resigned directors and other officers, and filing history, straight from the official Companies House register. Build lead lists by SIC code, incorporation date, status, or location (e.g. 'active scaffolding companies in Manchester incorporated since 2020'), enrich a list of company numbers in bulk, or run free-text searches. Data comes from the official API, so results are reliable and always current — no brittle scraping.

What data does it return?

Every run outputs clean, schema-validated rows like these:

companyNumber	name	status	incorporatedOn	registeredAddress	sicCodes	officers	filings
12345678	EXAMPLE SCAFFOLDING LTD	active	2019-03-14	1 Example Street, Unit 4, Manchester, M1 2AB, England	43991, 43999	2 active, 1 resigned (names, roles, dates)	25 most recent (date, type, description)
87654321	SAMPLE JOINERY (LEEDS) LTD	active	2021-09-02	22 Demo Road, Leeds, LS1 4XY, England	43320	1 active (name, role, dates)	25 most recent (date, type, description)

How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the actor always respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and it stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

Event	Price	Charged	Worked example
company-result	$0.005	per enriched company (profile + officers + filings included)	1,000 companies = $5.00; 100 companies = $0.50
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	per run per GB of memory (platform start fee)	One run at up to 1 GB = $0.00005 (charged as one event)

Input options

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
companyNumbers	array	no	—	Enrich exactly these companies (e.g. 09876543). Takes priority over search terms and filters.
searchTerms	array	no	—	Free-text company name search, e.g. 'plumbing manchester'. Used only when no company numbers and no advanced filters are given.
sicCodes	array	no	—	Filter by Standard Industrial Classification codes, e.g. 43991 for scaffolding. Combine with status/date/location filters for targeted lead lists.
companyStatus	string	no	"any"	Only companies in this state. 'any' disables the filter.
incorporatedFrom	string	no	—	Earliest incorporation date, YYYY-MM-DD. Great for 'new companies' lead lists.
incorporatedTo	string	no	—	Latest incorporation date, YYYY-MM-DD.
location	string	no	—	Registered-office location filter, e.g. 'Manchester'.
maxResults	integer	no	100	Stop after this many companies. You are charged per company: 1,000 companies = $5.00. If you set a run budget (max total charge), the actor automatically stays inside it.
includeOfficers	boolean	no	true	Attach current and resigned officers (name, role, dates, occupation, nationality). No dates of birth or personal addresses are ever returned.
includeFilings	boolean	no	true	Attach the 25 most recent filings (date, category, type, description).
apiKey	string	no	—	Optional: bring your own free key from developer.company-information.service.gov.uk for dedicated throughput (600 requests/5 min per key). Without it, the actor's shared key is used.

Limits & honest notes

• Official Companies House data only — UK-registered companies (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland).
• Privacy by design: officers' dates of birth and personal addresses are never returned, only statutory business-register fields.
• Filing history returns the 25 most recent filings per company; officers are capped at 100 per company.
• Throughput is governed by the Companies House rate limit (600 requests/5 min). A fully-enriched company uses 3 requests ≈ 180 companies per 5 minutes. Add your own free API key in the input for dedicated throughput.
• Companies not found (e.g. mistyped numbers) are skipped and never charged.
• Respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and the actor stops cleanly at the cap.
