Getting started · 2 min read
Quick steps
- Search for a company by name or number.
- Open the profile and check the company number.
- Use the official filing links when you need the source document.
Start with a company
Search by company name or number to open its profile. You can view available company details, officers, ownership and control, filing history, charges and insolvency records. Basic public research does not need an account.
Follow changes over time
Sign in to save companies and people in watchlists. Companies within your plan’s allowance are monitored. Create an alert separately to choose which updates you receive and where they arrive. My Company is a shortcut; setting it does not start monitoring.
Understand freshness and coverage
Information comes from the public Companies House register. Profiles, search results and monitoring can be checked at different times. A checked date tells you when information was observed; it does not guarantee that the register is complete or correct. Updates and notifications can be delayed.
Know the limits
CHouse.UK is independent of Companies House. It does not file accounts or confirmation statements for you. Recorded history is not a complete historical register, and a missing value does not mean there is nothing to report. Company indicators describe register facts, rather than credit scores. Check official records before making a decision.
