Company Registry Lookup (UK, EU, US, Japan, Australia, Canada, LEI)

Look up any of more than 23 million companies by name or official registry number. Each row gives the legal name, status, legal form, incorporation date, industry codes, registered town and postcode, the LEI and the company's ids in other registers. Website and employee count are added where the register states them. The data comes from 14 national and state registers (listed under Coverage) and the global LEI register.

Quick start

Paste this into the JSON tab and press Start:

{
  "companies": ["Octopus Energy | GB", "923609016 | NO", "559306-1459 | SE", "Toyota Motor | JP", "GB-CH-08130873"],
  "country": "",
  "matchesPerName": 1
}

You can mix company names, bare registry numbers and ids with a prefix. A bare number needs a country so it's read the right way: set Country for the whole run, or put one after a bar on that line (559306-1459 | SE). The same works for names (Toyota Motor | JP). Where a register has a check digit, a mistyped number comes back as a free row instead of the wrong company.

Coverage

Lookups cover every register in the bulk-mode table below: UK, France, Norway, Singapore, Finland, Estonia, Czechia, Australia, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Ireland, Latvia, the US (SEC filers plus New York, Colorado, Connecticut and Oregon) and LEI holders in 200+ countries. Refreshed monthly from the official bulk files. Sole traders and other natural persons are not included, and neither are directors, officers or other people.

Whole lists (bulk mode)

Bulk mode returns a whole list for one country, in registry id order: for example every active UK company with a website, or every Norwegian company with an LEI. Paste this into the JSON tab:

{
  "mode": "bulk",
  "country": "GB",
  "segment": "active-with-website",
  "industry": "62",
  "maxResults": 1000,
  "onlyNew": true
}

• country: one ISO code (required).
• segment: active-with-website (the default), active, all (any status) or with-lei (any status).
• industry: optional. A code or the start of one in the country's own system, so 62 gives every UK company with a SIC code starting 62.
• city: optional. The registered town, for example Leeds.
• maxResults: the most companies one run returns. 1,000 by default, up to 2,000,000.
• onlyNew: skips companies this account already got from the same list in an earlier run. Turn it on to fetch a big list over several runs, or to collect only newly registered companies each month. Skipped companies are free.
• incorporatedSince: optional. Only companies incorporated on or after this date: 2026-10-01, or a span back from today such as 30 days, 2 weeks or 3 months. With a date the newest come first. Australia's and Japan's files state no incorporation date, so a dated list isn't available for AU or JP.
• incorporatedBefore: optional. Only companies incorporated before this date (the date itself is left out).
• order: id (the default without a date) or newest (newest incorporations first, the default with a date).

In the input form these settings have their own section, "Whole lists (bulk mode)".

Each row has the registry id and number, legal name, country, town, postcode, status (and an active flag), legal form, incorporation date, industry codes with their labels, LEI, the best matched website with how it was matched and every other matched website, employees where the register states them, the technologies, CMS, e-commerce platform and company social profiles seen on the company's own site where we have read it, previous name, the record's link on the register, and the register's licence and attribution line. Organisations only: no directors, owners or other people, and records removed on request are left out.

Price

You pay per company returned. Not-found and invalid entries, and companies an onlyNew run skips, are free.

Event	Starter	Scale	Business
Company (lookup)	$1.00 per 1,000	$0.75 per 1,000	$0.55 per 1,000
Company in a bulk list	$0.50 per 1,000	$0.375 per 1,000	$0.275 per 1,000

A bulk run stops cleanly at maxResults or at the run's maximum charge, whichever comes first, and says so in its status message.

Good to know

• Name search returns the best matches first. Set Country and Matches per name to narrow it down.
• Websites are filled in where a register states them. Today that means Norwegian companies that list one.
• This is registry data as published by each register. Use it lawfully and in line with each source's licence.
