Independent company information service
About Check Company UK
Check Company UK is an independent online service operated outside the United Kingdom and available internationally for researching UK-registered companies. We use selected public Companies House data and organise company-level information into a clearer experience.
Independent service
Companies House public data
Clearer company information
Our Purpose
Public company records contain useful information, but the underlying register can be technical and fragmented across different resources. Check Company UK is built to reduce that friction.
The aim is simple: help users identify the correct UK company, review important public information and understand what the available Companies House data does — and does not — tell them.
What we focus on
A Simpler Way to Review Public Company Information
Transparency
We explain where the data comes from, what API resources are used and the limits of public register information.
Data Minimisation
The service is designed around company-level information and deliberately excludes person-name search, natural-person records and person-level address information from its reports.
Useful Context
Company status, incorporation details, filings, charges and insolvency information are easier to understand when shown together rather than as isolated fields.
Source Awareness
We distinguish between information returned by Companies House and conclusions that cannot be established from public company data alone.
Independent Access
Check Company UK is not the official register. It is an independent interface built around public Companies House information.
Independence
Check Company UK Is Not Companies House
Independent Company Information Tool
Check Company UK provides its own search and presentation layer around public Companies House data. We decide how the interface is organised and how available public information is displayed.
Companies House Maintains the Register
Companies House is responsible for the official UK companies register. Check Company UK does not create, amend, approve or validate filings submitted to Companies House.
Our approach
How We Handle Company Information
We Use Public Companies House Data
Company information is requested from Companies House through public API resources used by the service.
We Do Not Claim Official Status
The site is clearly presented as an independent service rather than as part of Companies House or the UK Government.
We Do Not Guarantee Company Quality
An active registration or the absence of a particular public warning does not prove that a company is financially strong, trustworthy or suitable for a transaction.
We Separate Fact From Interpretation
Where possible, the interface distinguishes register facts from broader conclusions that would require additional due diligence.
Company-Level Data by Design
Check Company UK focuses its reports on information about registered companies rather than building profiles about natural persons.
The service does not provide person-name lookup or natural-person profile services and does not display dates of birth, nationality, person-level addresses or insolvency-practitioner details.
Filing, charge and insolvency sections are deliberately limited to company-level fields such as dates, categories, identifiers, statuses and case types.
