UK Companies House Search: New Companies by SIC & Postcode

Fresh UK business leads every month, straight from the official register.

Around 60,000 to 80,000 companies are incorporated in the UK every month. This Actor searches all ~5.5 million live companies in the official Companies House data and pulls exactly the ones you want: new companies by SIC code, postcode, town, status, category or name, with registered address, accounts and confirmation-statement due dates, charges and previous names. Run it monthly in New mode and receive only companies you have not seen before.

✨ Why use it

• 🗂️ The whole register: every live private and public company, LLP, community interest company and partnership, not a sample.
• 🎯 Precise targeting: SIC codes (62 for IT, 56101 for restaurants), postcode areas or districts, and towns.
• 🆕 Monthly lead lists: New mode returns only companies you haven't received yet.
• ⚡ No API key, no rate limits: the full register is filtered in about a minute.
• 🔒 No personal data: no directors, and "care of" address lines are removed.
• 💸 Pay per company: $1 per 1,000 companies, plus $0.03 per run.

💡 Use cases

• B2B lead generation: every new IT company, restaurant, builder or estate agent in your area, every month.
• Accountants and formation agents: new companies with no accounts filed yet, and their first accounts due date.
• Banks, insurers and suppliers: reach companies in their first weeks of trading.
• Market research: company formation trends by SIC code and region.
• Due diligence and KYC: status, category, charges and previous names of a company.

💰 How much does it cost?

Event	Price
Register scan (once per run)	$0.03
Company (one row)	$0.001, i.e. $1 per 1,000 companies

Every run reads the whole register (about 470 MB), hence the small fixed fee per run. A list of 100 new companies costs $0.13. Higher Apify plans get volume discounts. You can set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

ℹ️ Good to know

• Monthly data: Companies House publishes the snapshot within 5 working days of each month end, covering the register up to that date. Companies incorporated this month appear next month.
• Live companies only: dissolved companies are not in the snapshot.
• Newest first: results are sorted by incorporation date. With Max results at 0, the run returns up to the 100,000 newest matches; add filters for more specific lists.
• No personal data: the snapshot has no directors. "Care of" address lines, which can name a person, are removed.
