Did you know you can monitor any UK company for free and get email alerts when key details change, which can help protect your own business from unexpected or unauthorised filings?

A significant amount of information about companies is available in the public domain from Companies House. Companies House is responsible for incorporating and dissolving limited companies, examining and maintaining statutory records, and making company information publicly accessible.

Much of this information is available free of charge, in line with the government’s commitment to open data. As a result, all publicly available digital information held on the UK register of companies can be accessed without cost.

The information available includes core company details such as the registered address and date of incorporation, details of current and resigned directors and officers, copies of documents filed with Companies House, mortgage and charge information, previous company names and insolvency records.

In addition, you can choose to monitor a company and receive email alerts whenever new documents are filed, such as changes to directors or registered office addresses. This can also be a useful safeguard for your own company, helping you to identify any unexpected or unauthorised filings at an early stage.
