Independent UK company information service
About Check Company UK
Check Company UK is an independent service designed to make public UK company information easier to search, understand and review. We use public Companies House data and organise relevant information into a clearer experience for users who want to check a company or review company appointments.
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
Where personal data is involved, particularly in Director Search, we intentionally limit what is displayed to information relevant to professional company appointments.
Useful Context
Company status, filings, officers, 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.
Privacy Matters in Director Search
Director Search makes it possible to search an officer by name and review associated company appointments. Because this involves personal data, we deliberately limit the information displayed.
The current interface focuses on the officer name, appointment count, company name, company number, company status, role, appointment date and resignation date where available.
We do not display date of birth, nationality, country of residence, correspondence address or residential address in Director Search.
More detail about the information we use and exclude is available on our Data Sources page and will also be covered in our Privacy Policy.Learn more
