UK Companies House Search: New Companies, Filings

Search the official UK Companies House register through its API and get clean, CSV-ready company data: newly incorporated companies by date, industry (SIC), status, type and town, plus filing deadlines and risk flags for every company. Ideal as a daily lead feed or for checking suppliers and customers.

• New companies feed: e.g. all active software companies (SIC 62012/62020) incorporated in the last 7 days. With onlyNew a scheduled run returns only companies you have not received yet (known ones are free).
• Filing deadlines and flags: next accounts and confirmation statement due dates, overdue flags, last accounts date and type (micro, small, full, group …), insolvency history, charges (secured loans), liquidation, disputed or undeliverable registered office, previous names.
• Readable industries: SIC codes plus their industry description, ready for filtering in Excel.
• Flexible input: filter search (date range, SIC, status, type, town/postcode area, name contains), name search, or a list of company numbers.
• Official and lawful: data from the Companies House public API under the Open Government Licence v3.0. No personal data: directors, shareholders and persons with significant control are deliberately not collected.
• Fair: missing companies, invalid numbers and API problems are reported in a note row and are free.

FAQ

Why no directors or shareholders? They are personal data. This Actor focuses on company information, which keeps your use simple under GDPR.
