Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an API key? No. This actor reads the public Companies House register directly, so there is nothing to sign up for.

Which companies are covered? Every company on the UK register, searchable by name or looked up by number, including active and dissolved companies.

Does it include directors and owners? Yes. Turn on officers for directors and secretaries, and persons with significant control for beneficial owners, each returned as a structured list on the company record.

Why are some fields empty? Fields like previous names, filing dates or occupation are only filled when the register publishes them, so they may be empty for some companies. Number, name, status and address are almost always present.
