🏢 Companies House Enricher

Instantly enrich UK company data using the official Companies House API. Input a list of company names or registration numbers and get back a full profile for each — registered address, SIC codes, active directors, insolvency flags, filing history, and more.

No scraping. No rate-limit workarounds. Direct from the source.

✅ What you get

For each company, the actor returns:

🔑 Requirements

You need a free Companies House API key.

1. Go to developer.company-information.service.gov.uk
2. Register (takes 2 minutes)
3. Create a new application and copy your API key
4. Paste it into the API Key field in the actor input

The Companies House API is completely free with a limit of 600 requests per 5 minutes — more than enough for most use cases.

📥 Input

{
"queries":["Tesco PLC","00445790","Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC"],
"searchType":"company_name",
"apiKey":"your-api-key-here",
"includeOfficers":true,
"includeFilingHistory":false
}

Input fields

Tip: If you're using company numbers, set searchType to company_number — it's faster and skips the search step entirely.

}

💡 Use cases

• Lead enrichment — append registered address, status and SIC codes to your prospect lists
• Due diligence — quickly check insolvency history and active directors before engaging a supplier
• Data cleaning — validate company names and numbers against the official register
• Compliance — identify dissolved or liquidated companies in your database
• Sales intelligence — filter leads by SIC code or company type

⚡ Performance & rate limits

• The actor adds a 200ms delay between requests to stay well within the 600/5min limit
• For large batches (1,000+ companies), consider running multiple actor instances with split lists
• Company number lookups are faster than name searches (one fewer API call)

🔗 Data source

All data comes directly from the UK Companies House official API — the same data used by Companies House Search itself. Data is updated in near real-time as companies file.

• Companies House API docs
• Companies House Search
