Companies House UK Company Registry Scraper

Searches the free public UK company register kept by Companies House and returns one flat record per company. Filter by words in the company name, by SIC industry code, by the town, county or postcode of the registered office, by company status and type, and by incorporation date range — or look up specific companies by their company number. Every record carries the registered name, company number, status, company type, incorporation and dissolution dates, the full registered office address split into street, town, country and postcode, the SIC industry codes with their descriptions, the accounts and confirmation-statement dates, and any previous company names. Directors and secretaries can be attached on request.

This is the official public register, so the data is the company's own filed information. No account, sign-in or API key of any kind is needed.

Input

Field	Default	Description
company_name_includes	solar	Words the registered company name must contain, e.g. solar, dental, logistics. Leave empty to search on the other filters alone. Ignored when company_numbers is filled in.
sic_codes	(empty)	Comma-separated UK SIC 2007 industry codes, e.g. 35110 or 62012,62020. Empty searches every industry.
location	(empty)	Town, county or postcode the registered office address must contain, e.g. Manchester, Cornwall, W1G. Empty searches the whole UK.
company_status	active	active, dissolved, liquidation, administration, open, closed, or any for every company.

incorporated_from	(empty)	Earliest incorporation date, YYYY-MM-DD or DD/MM/YYYY.

Notes

• Coverage is the United Kingdom only: companies, LLPs, limited partnerships, registered societies and overseas entities that are on the UK register.
• The register holds no telephone numbers, email addresses, websites or employee counts. Industry comes from SIC codes, and the address is the registered office, which for many small companies is an accountant's or formation agent's address rather than a trading location.
• street_address, town and country are a best-effort split of the single address line the register publishes. A county written after the town (for example Cheshire) is not copied into town; registered_office_address always holds the complete address exactly as filed.
• A search returns at most 5,000 matches — narrow by SIC code, location or incorporation date range to go deeper into a large industry.
• Some entity types (registered societies, some overseas entities) have a much shorter register entry, so their records carry fewer fields.
• Companies House states that it does not verify the accuracy of the information companies file with it.
