Consider Companies House a library - storing records and making them available to the general public.

In 2015, access to the Companies House library became free via a new web portal. So why sign up to Company Check?

Company Check digitises and analyses public data to append key risk information and additional tools that enable you to make better-informed decisions about companies you do business with.
