From your dashboard, use the search tools to find UK companies by location, SIC code, incorporation date, and more.

Location search

Search for companies by their registered address location. Enter a city, town, county, or postcode area to find companies registered in that area.

SIC code filtering

Filter results by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to find companies in specific industries. You can select multiple SIC codes to broaden your search.

Date range filtering

Narrow results to companies incorporated within a specific date range. Useful for finding newly formed businesses or companies established during a particular period.

Company status

Filter by company status such as “Active”, “Dissolved”, or “In Administration”.

Company status

Active means the company is currently registered and operating. Dissolved means it has been removed from the register. Other statuses include liquidation, administration, and voluntary arrangement.

SIC codes

SIC codes classify a company's primary business activity. A company may have multiple SIC codes if it operates across several industries.

Incorporation date

The date the company was officially registered with Companies House.

Officer data

Available on Pro, Business, and MAX tiers. Officer data shows the company's directors and secretaries, including their names, roles, and appointment dates.

Registered address

The official registered address as recorded with Companies House. Note that this may differ from the company's trading address.
