Capabilities
Everything you need to search and analyse UK companies
Name, location, SIC codes, status, type — stack filters the official site never gave you. Built for lists, BD, and due diligence, not one-off lookups.
Directors, PSC, filing status, accounts overdue, confirmation statements — the context you need in one screen.
PDF, CSV, email — plus letters when you need to reach out, not just stare at a table.
Bookmark criteria, rerun in a click, and get daily nudges when something changes.
Powered by the official Companies House API — live data, quick results, built for real workloads.
Encrypted in transit. We don’t sell your search history — your pipeline stays yours.
Pricing
Choose the plan that works for you. One credit = one search (up to 1000 records per search; 1 extra credit per additional 1000 records loaded).
What is a credit? One credit = one search (up to 1000 records). If your search returns more than 1000 results, each additional 1000 records loaded costs one extra credit.

Social proof
Trusted by consultants, accountants & teams across the UK
"I use the SIC code and postcode filters every day to build lists for our BD team. Export to CSV saves me at least two hours a week compared to the official search."
"The overdue accounts flag is what I needed. I run a search for companies in our area with accounts overdue and get in touch before our competitors. The letter generator is a bonus."
"We use it for due diligence — director search and company history in one place. Response times are fast and the data matches what we see on Companies House."
