UK Companies House Scraper - Company Search, New Companies & Filings (No API Key)

Search the UK Companies House register and export companies to JSON, CSV or Excel. No API key needed. You can:

• Find new companies (lead generation): filter by registered office location (town or postcode), SIC code, incorporation date range, status, company type and name words. For example, every software company incorporated in Manchester last month.
• Get past the register's 5,000-result cap: large date ranges are split automatically.
• Look up company numbers or search by name.
• Full profile (optional): accounts and confirmation statement dates with overdue flags, SIC descriptions, previous names, and charges/insolvency flags.
• Filing history (optional): date, form type, description and PDF document link for recent filings.

The data comes from the official public register at find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk, fetched politely (2 requests/second).

Privacy by design
