Company Credit Report: The Base Information

companies houseThe vast majority of the base information (co. name, number, registered office, status, sic code & stat dates) in our company reports is taken directly from Companies House, specifically from the incorporation documents and annual returns. Information such as the trading address and the telephone number is taken from various business directories.

When do company reports include share information?

Our Fully Comprehensive company credit reports include company share information… if a company has filed an annual return. If an annual return has not yet been filed the shareholding section of the report will be blank. Share information is then updated whenever a new return is filed (a new report will need to be purchased to see the new share situation).

Can I search by a company’s old name?

Unfortunately not. However, if you use our “Advance Search” you can search via the company number (which never changes). If you don’t have the number, take a look at the Companies House webcheck. This has a function that allows you to search via old company names, you can then find the new company name.
