New UK Companies (Companies House): Fresh Incorporations by Industry, Postcode & Region

Get a list of newly incorporated UK companies, straight from the official Companies House register. Each row has the company name, company number, incorporation date, company type and status, SIC codes with plain-English industry descriptions, registered office address and postcode, local authority, region and coordinates, and a link to the company's Companies House page. You can also add each company's first accounts and confirmation-statement due dates.

Built for accountants and bookkeepers, business banks, insurers, web design and marketing agencies, payroll/HR and B2B SaaS companies who want to reach a business in its first weeks.

No API key, no login, no proxies, no browser. It uses Companies House's own public advanced-search export, so a typical run finishes in a few seconds.

Why this Actor

	This Actor
New incorporations in the last N days, or any date range	✅
Works without a Companies House API key	✅
Filter by SIC code, SIC prefix (e.g. 62 = all software/IT) or plain keyword (dental, restaurant, construction)	✅
Filter by company type, status, postcode area/district, ONS region, address text, name words	✅
SIC descriptions included, not just codes	✅
Region, local authority, county, lat/long for every company (free)	✅
Flags formation-agent / virtual-office addresses (e.g. 71-75 Shelton Street) so you can drop them	✅
Optional first accounts due date + confirmation statement due date (perfect for accountants)	✅
Skips dormant / non-trading shells by default	✅
Monitor mode: schedule it daily and get only companies you haven't received before	✅
Directors' / officers' / PSC personal names	❌ never output (privacy by design)

Typical uses

• Accountants: daysBack = 7, postcodes = ["LS", "BD", "HX"], addFilingDeadlines = true, excludeFormationAgentAddresses = true. Every new company must file accounts and a confirmation statement; you get the deadlines.
• Web / marketing agencies: industryKeywords = ["restaurant", "hairdressing", "beauty"], regions = ["North West"].
• Business banking and insurance: companyTypes = ["ltd", "llp"], sicCodes = ["41", "43"] (construction), monitor mode on a daily schedule.
• B2B SaaS: sicCodes = ["62", "63"], regions = ["London"] for brand-new tech companies.

Input example

{
  "daysBack": 7,
  "industryKeywords": ["dental"],
  "sicCodes": ["86230"],
  "companyTypes": ["ltd", "llp"],
  "companyStatus": "active",
  "regions": ["London", "South East"],
  "postcodes": [],
  "excludeFormationAgentAddresses": true,
  "addFilingDeadlines": true,
  "monitorMode": false,
  "maxResults": 500
}

Use dateFrom / dateTo (YYYY-MM-DD) for a fixed range instead of daysBack.

Pricing (pay per event)

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Company result: $0.0015 per company ($1.50 per 1,000)
• Filing deadlines + full address (optional): $0.002 per company, only when addFilingDeadlines is on

Location data (region, local authority, coordinates) is included at no extra cost. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops cleanly when it's reached.

How it works

1. Queries the official Companies House advanced search CSV export day by day (or per SIC code), newest first. Searches that hit Companies House's 5,000-row export limit are split automatically by date and then by company type.
2. Filters by your criteria and adds SIC descriptions from the official Companies House SIC 2007 list.
3. Looks up each registered-office postcode in ONS open data (postcodes.io) for region, local authority and coordinates.
4. Optionally reads each company's public profile (or the official REST API if you give your own free Companies House API key) for filing deadlines.

About 2,500 to 4,000 UK companies are incorporated every working day.

Data, privacy and compliance

• Data comes from the public Companies House register (Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence) and ONS postcode data (OGL).
• No personal names are output: no directors, officers, secretaries or persons with significant control.
• Important, one-person companies: many new UK companies are run by one person, and their registered office is often a home address (for example "Flat 33 ..."). Under UK GDPR and PECR, details that identify a sole director can be personal data. If you use this data for marketing, you are the data controller: have a lawful basis (usually legitimate interests with a documented assessment), tell people where you got their details within one month, honour objections, screen calls against TPS/CTPS, and don't send unsolicited marketing emails or texts to sole traders or partnerships without consent. Get legal advice if you're unsure.
• The Actor does not scrape websites, phone numbers or emails, because Companies House doesn't hold them and guessing them raises privacy and accuracy problems.
• Requests to Companies House are rate-limited and sequential to respect the service.

Limitations

• Companies House usually publishes new incorporations within about a day; today's list may still be filling up.
• The CSV export gives the registered office as one line without commas. Turn on addFilingDeadlines for the full comma-separated address.
• likelyFormationAgentAddress uses a list of well-known mass-registration addresses and, in day-by-day mode, a count of same-day companies at the same address. It's a heuristic.
• Region lookup can be empty for brand-new, overseas or mistyped postcodes.

FAQ

Do I need a Companies House API key? No. It's optional and only used for the filing-deadline enrichment.

How do I get only new companies every day? Turn on monitorMode, set daysBack to 2 or 3, and schedule the Actor daily. Use a different monitorStoreName for each saved search.

Can I search by SIC section? Yes. Enter a prefix like 56 (food and drink service) or 4321 (electrical installation) and every matching 5-digit code is included.
