What data can you extract from Companies House?
Every row is one company on the UK register: limited companies, PLCs, LLPs, limited partnerships, overseas entities, overseas companies and their UK establishments, charitable incorporated organisations and the other company types Companies House keeps.

A real row: MAYDEN HOUSE LIMITED, a software company in Bath. The register lists 12 officers, 3 owners, 3 charges and 101 filings for it, and its accounts report 119 figures. This example shows 2 officers, 1 charge, 2 filings and 8 of the figures; the full row carries all of them in the same shape. Personal names are masked here; the dataset has them as the register publishes them.
financials is null when the company's latest accounts were filed on paper or as a scanned document; many small companies file balance-sheet-only accounts, so turnover and profit are null for them while assets, cash and employees are filled. Figures are numbers in the accounts' currency (currency), with no rounding.
How leadScore works. It adds up facts on the row: active company +30, accounts not overdue +15, confirmation statement not overdue +10, no insolvency history +10, at least one current director +15, a SIC code listed +10, accounts filed or company under 18 months old +10. Sort by it to put healthy, reachable companies first.
How to scrape Companies House
Use one or more of these inputs together; every company is returned once per run.
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
searchTerms | Company name search, in the register's relevance order, matching current and previous names. Companies House lists up to 1,000 companies per term. |
companyNumbers | Exact companies, e.g. 00445790, SC123456, NI036672, OC301540. Leading zeros may be left out. |
startUrls | Links copied from the Companies House website: a company page, a name search, an advanced search results page, or an officer's appointments page (every company that person is appointed to). |
| Filters | sicCodes, location (words in the registered office address), companyNameIncludes, companyNameExcludes, companyTypes, companySubtypes, companyStatus, incorporatedFrom / incorporatedTo, dissolvedFrom / dissolvedTo. Use them alone or together; each SIC code is searched and the results merged. |
maxResults | The most companies for the whole run (default 100). |
What each company includes is up to you. Everything is on by default except the separate officer rows:
| Option | Default | Adds |
|---|---|---|
includeOfficers, maxOfficersPerCompany | on, 500 | Directors, secretaries and LLP members, current and resigned |
includePscs | on | Owners, control statements and exemptions |
includeFilingHistory, maxFilingsPerCompany | on, 25 | Recent filings and the total number of filings |
includeCharges, includeChargeDetails, maxChargesPerCompany | on, on, 100 | Charges with lenders and their full descriptions |
includeInsolvency | on | Insolvency cases and practitioners |
includeFinancials, financialYears | on, 1 | Figures from filed accounts, up to 10 years back (billed per set of accounts read) |
emitOfficerRecords | off | One extra row per current officer, for contact lists (billed per row) |
onlyNew | off | Only companies this search has not returned in your earlier runs |
Every company in an industry and region
Returns every active software and IT consultancy company with a Manchester registered office. A search larger than the 10,000 Companies House will show is split by incorporation date behind the scenes, so the run returns all of it up to maxResults. The run's key-value store has a SEARCH_REPORTS record with the register's own count for each search and how many were saved.
New companies every day
Schedule this daily: each run returns only the London restaurants incorporated since the start date that earlier runs of the same search have not returned. New companies have filed no accounts yet, so figures are switched off here.
A director's companies, with contact rows
Returns every company that officer (here a company acting as corporate secretary) is appointed to, plus one flat row per current officer of those companies with name, role, date of birth (month and year), nationality, correspondence address and company details, ready for a CRM.
Five years of accounts
financials holds the latest year and financialHistory the five latest machine-readable sets of accounts, newest first, each with the year before it for comparison.

FAQ
How do I download a list of companies from Companies House? Set your filters (for example sicCodes and location) and maxResults, run the actor and export the dataset as CSV, Excel or JSON. The Companies House website shows 10,000 results and downloads 5,000; this actor returns the whole search up to your limit.
Can I get every company with a SIC code in a town? Yes: sicCodes plus location. location matches words anywhere in the registered office address, as the Companies House search does, so "Bath" also finds a "Bath Road" in another town. Check address.postTown if you need the town only.
How do I get a list of directors and their companies? Directors are in officers on every company row. Each officer has appointmentsUrl; put that link in startUrls to get every company the person is appointed to. Turn on emitOfficerRecords for one row per current officer.
Who owns a UK company? pscs lists the persons with significant control: individuals and companies, their share and voting ranges and rights to appoint directors, with the coded value in natureOfControlCodes. Companies exempt from the PSC rules (for example listed companies) carry the reason in pscExemptions; statements such as "no registrable person" are in pscStatements.
Can I get turnover and profit? Yes, when the company filed its accounts in machine-readable form, as about six in ten companies in our test searches had. financials has the figures the accounts report: micro-entity and abridged accounts usually report a balance sheet without a profit and loss account, so turnover and profit are null for them. Accounts filed on paper have no figures; their PDF link is in filings.
Is there a limit on results? A name search (searchTerms) returns up to the 1,000 companies Companies House lists for a term; use companyNameIncludes to get every company whose name contains the words. Filter searches have no ceiling besides maxResults. Very large partnerships can have thousands of officers; maxOfficersPerCompany (up to 5,000) sets how many are listed, and the register's totals are always included.
Do I need a Companies House key or login? No. The actor reads the public register; it needs no key, login or cookie from you.
How do I find dissolved companies? Add "companyStatus": ["dissolved"], optionally with dissolvedFrom and dissolvedTo.
Why is a field empty? It is null when the register does not hold it: a charitable incorporated organisation has no status, date or address on the register; new companies have no accounts yet; older charges have no charge code. If a part could not be read in a run, the row lists it in incompleteParts; run that company again to fill it.
Is Companies House data free to reuse? The register is public and Companies House publishes it for anyone to search. Rows name directors and owners, so the output contains personal data even though it is public: you are responsible for using it lawfully, for example under UK GDPR for direct marketing.
Can I use it from an AI assistant, n8n, Make or Python? Yes. Use the Apify MCP server, the Apify integrations or the Apify client libraries. The block under "Copy to your AI assistant" gives an assistant everything it needs.
