Look up UK companies by company number or name and get a clean, flat JSON record from the official Companies House API: legal status, incorporation date, SIC codes, registered office, accounts and confirmation-statement deadlines, insolvency and charges flags. Built for KYB checks, lead enrichment, and AI-agent pipelines. You are only charged for successful lookups — misses are free.

Company facts only — this Actor deliberately returns no personal data (no officers, no PSC records).

Use cases

  • KYB / vendor onboarding: verify status, age, and filing compliance of UK counterparties in bulk.
  • Lead enrichment: turn a list of company names into verified registry records with SIC codes and location.
  • Credit & risk signals: overdue accounts, insolvency history, registered charges.
  • AI agents: single-record lookup with a tiny input schema — ideal via API or MCP.
