Online information about a company

tiemadmin • 16 January 2025

A significant amount of online information about companies is available to the public on the Companies House website. The information available through Companies House can be an important resource for anyone looking to research a company. What makes this particularly valuable is that a significant portion of the data is freely available to the public.

The range of publicly available information can be used for various purposes, including due diligence, background checks, and monitoring the financial health of companies.

Among the key details that can be accessed through Companies House are:

  • Company Information : This includes basic but essential details such as the company’s registered address, its date of incorporation, and its status.
  • Company Officers : You can access a list of current and resigned officers of the company, which includes directors, company secretaries, and other key individuals.
  • Document Images : Companies House maintains a digital archive of official documents filed by companies, such as annual accounts, articles of association, and resolutions.
  • Mortgage Charge Data : For companies that have taken out loans or entered into security agreements, information about mortgage charges is available.
  • Previous Company Names : If a company has changed its name in the past, this information is also made available.
  • Insolvency Information : Companies House also holds records of any insolvency proceedings.

In addition to this, Companies House offers a convenient service where individuals and businesses can set up free email alerts. These alerts notify you whenever there are updates to a company’s details, such as a change in director or registered address.
