Most of the important information about a limited company in the UK is held by Companies House.
As part of your qualification, underwriting or onboarding process, the wide variety of company information held by Companies House may be valuable to your business. As such, knowing how to efficiently check company information is invaluable.
The British government estimates that the value of the data held by Companies House is over £3 billion per year – so let’s look into how we can check that information.
1. Visit the Companies House website
Navigate to the Companies House website.
2. Search for the company
Use the search function to find the company that you wish to check. You can search either by company name or registration number.
3. Review company details
Once you have found the company, click on it to access the detailed information. This will include details including the registration number, registered address and the incorporation date.
The company detail section can give you a wide range of information on the company in question. From here you can confirm the legitimacy of the company based on its registration status, previous names and address, to performing financial due diligence by examining insolvency data, filed accounts and the credentials of the appointed directors.
Of course, this information can be incredibly valuable, particularly if you work in a sector where a company’s legitimacy and financial stability are integral to them becoming a client. Whether you’re in finance, investment, professional services or a similar industry, having accurate, up-to-date company information
