Contact enrichment

Companies House publishes a great deal about a company, but deliberately not its email addresses or phone numbers — those are not part of the statutory record. Contact enrichment is the process of finding that missing business contact information from other public sources, so a company record becomes actionable for sales or research.

Done responsibly, enrichment looks only for corporate, role-based contact details — a business’s general phone number or an info@ style address published on its own website — rather than individuals’ personal contact data. The aim is to reach the business, on a lawful basis, not to compile personal profiles.

Enrichment is inherently best-effort: not every company has a discoverable website or published contact details, and the find rate varies with how established and how online a company is. Good enrichment is honest about its confidence, scoring each result rather than presenting guesses as facts.

Example

A sales team exports a list of newly incorporated construction companies, then enriches it to add each firm’s business phone and email where those are publicly published, ready for outreach.

On Company Shark

Contact enrichment is a MAX+ feature: submit a list of companies and receive an Excel of best-effort corporate contact details, each scored for confidence, with personal data excluded and suppression rules enforced.
