Quick steps
- Choose an official filing, generated PDF or CSV for your task.
- Read the download’s scope, dates and any allowance message.
- Download and check the file before sharing.
- Use a public page link when the recipient only needs the record.
Official filings or a company summary?
The company’s Filings section links to available official documents. Those links can be opened without an account. A generated company PDF is a CHouse.UK summary of available company information, rather than an official filing. Sign in, open the company’s Share menu and choose Download company PDF.
Share a public record
Use Share to copy the company or officer page link. Company pages also offer a share-image preview. Anyone can open a public record link; your watchlists and alert settings are not included. Check the destination and the information you want to disclose before sharing a downloaded file.
Check the CSV scope
CSV downloads require a paid plan. Search, advanced search and Discovery export the current results page, rather than every match. Watchlist exports can cover the list or your selected companies; comparison exports include the selected companies and comparison fields. Read the scope shown before confirming. Preserve company-number columns as Text in your spreadsheet so leading zeros are kept.
Allowances, branding and missing data
Successful CSV rows use a shared monthly allowance, including repeat downloads. Yearly billing still has monthly CSV resets, and unused rows do not roll over. A PDF does not use CSV rows; separate download limits can apply. Free company PDFs have a watermark, Pro retains the CHouse.UK credit, and Business and Enterprise can use firm branding with a generation credit. Missing values stay unavailable or blank. Check source dates and any recording gaps before sending a report to a client.
