UK Companies House Scraper — Companies, SIC Codes & Directors

Search the official UK company register (Companies House) by town or postcode, SIC code (industry), status, company type, name and incorporation date, or look up company numbers. Get company name and number, status, type, incorporation date, registered office address, SIC codes with descriptions and the next accounts and confirmation statement due dates. Optionally add the directors and officers: name, role, appointment date, nationality, occupation, country of residence and correspondence address.

Built for new-business lead generation (accountants, banks, insurers, B2B SaaS and agencies love freshly incorporated companies), KYC and due diligence, and market research by industry and region.

Why this one

• New companies by industry and town: e.g. restaurants (SIC 56101) incorporated in Manchester this month.
• Directors in the same run, filtered to current officers.
• Official public register, no scraping of third-party sites.
• Up to 5,000 companies per search; split by date range or town for more.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for results delivered, at a fixed price per item. Apify platform usage is included in that price, so there are no compute costs on top. Errors and items that couldn't be found are free.

What you get	Price	Example
Company with officers	$0.003 each	1,000 companies with officers = $3.00
Company	$0.001 each	1,000 companies = $1.00

The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, enough for about 1,666 companies with officers per month at no cost. You can also set a maximum spend per run.

On paid Apify plans it gets cheaper automatically: 10% off on Starter, 20% on Scale and 30% on Business.
