UK New Companies Feed from Companies House

Every company incorporated in the United Kingdom, day by day, read from the official Companies House register: number, name, type, status, incorporation date, registered office with postcode, SIC codes with their descriptions and, if you ask for them, the directors and secretaries with appointment date, month and year of birth, nationality and country of residence. Filter by activity (SIC), company type, town or postcode. Turn on only companies new since the last run and schedule it daily to get a feed. No API key, no login.

A weekday brings about 3,500 new companies (3,519 on Tuesday 13 October 2026, measured). Companies House does not incorporate at weekends.

What Companies House does not publish, so this Actor does not promise

• Phone, email or website. The register holds none of them. For UK lead lists with a phone you need another source; this Actor gives you the legal record on the day it is created.
• Officer occupation. The public officers page no longer shows it (0 of 88 measured).
• Persons with significant control (shareholders): not in this version.

Feed mode: only new companies

Turn on Only companies new since the last run and schedule the Actor daily. Each run re-reads the last Days to re-read (default 3) so companies the register publishes late are still caught, remembers every company number delivered, and delivers only the ones not delivered before.

• The memory lives in the key-value store named in State store name (default uk-new-companies-seen). Use another name for a separate feed.
• Forget delivered companies starts from scratch.

Speed and limits

• 20 companies per register page; a full weekday (178 pages) is read in about 70 seconds. Officers add about 0.7 seconds per company.
• The run stops 20 seconds before its timeout and delivers what it read, with a warning.
• The register accepts one SIC code per query; the Actor runs one query per code and removes duplicates, so a company with two of your codes is delivered once.
• No login, no proxies, no browser: the Actor reads the public advanced search of the register at a polite pace.

Pricing

You pay per company delivered (company event) and, only when you ask for them, per company whose officers were read (officers event), plus the platform's start fee. Companies already delivered in feed mode are not charged again.

Run summary
