The UK Companies House registry is one of the most transparent and accessible corporate registers in the world 2 . It provides free, public access to data on millions of active and dissolved corporate entities 1, 3 . This information is divided into the following primary categories:

• Basic Company Data (or details)

  This serves as the identity and structural backbone of a registered entity 1, 4 . It covers real-time metadata such as the company’s name, registration number, physical registered address, category, current legal status, type of activity and the dated list of submission of the accounts, confirmation statements and any official documents related to mortgage and loans.

• Filing History

  This service functions as a digital chronological archive, tracking every statutory document, update, and form submitted by the company since its date of incorporation 4, 5 . It details structural changes, leadership shifts, share allocations, and secured debts (mortgages) 3, 4, 5 .

• Financial Accounts

  This section reflects the financial health and structure of the company 1 . While all limited companies must file annual accounts, the depth of information disclosed—ranging from highly simplified balance sheets to audited profit and loss statements—is determined by the size and revenue threshold of the business 2, 4, 5 .

• People in Company

  This section provides the identities of its directors, secretaries, and ultimate owners (Persons with Significant Control) with their present or past status  1, 4, 5
