Look up UK companies by company number or by name, using the official Companies House API.

What you get

For each company:

  • status, type and jurisdiction
  • SIC codes
  • incorporation and dissolution dates
  • accounts deadlines: next due, last made up to, and whether overdue
  • confirmation-statement deadlines and whether overdue
  • whether there is any insolvency history or any charges
  • the registered office's town and country

What you don't get

  • No officers, persons with significant control or any other people.
  • No street address or postcode, because a small company's registered office is often someone's home.

Your own API key (optional)

You can add your own free Companies House API key in the input. Your run then uses your own rate limit. Without one, the run uses this actor's key and may slow down when the actor is busy.

Limits

  • Up to 5,000 companies per run.
  • At most 600 requests every 5 minutes, which is Companies House's limit. If Companies House says to wait, the run waits rather than retrying straight away.
  • Unknown company numbers come back marked "not found" and aren't charged.

Uses

  • Check a supplier is active before paying them.
  • Flag clients whose accounts or confirmation statement are overdue.
  • Add SIC codes to a list of company numbers.

Price

Charged per company returned. Unknown numbers aren't charged. If you set a maximum cost per run in Apify's run options, the run stops when it is reached.
