So, how do you find out about these companies?
All limited companies have to be registered with Companies House,
the registrar of companies in the UK. Certain information, including the company name and the
“registered office” address are in the public domain – you can see it free of charge yourself,
by going to the Companies House website and typing in the company name or registration number to
see the address of the company.
However, the Companies House website doesn’t provide any kind of date of incorporation filtering – its either the company name or company number you search by and they certainly do not provide a multiple record export service.
The solution
Decide on Frequency
You can get a one off export of data or schedule to receive automatically daily, weekly, fortnightly or 4 weekly.
There is no commitment. We don't do contracts. Just pay as you go.
Filters
Are you looking for local companies or certain business types?
You can target by over 700 categories, including various retail, hotels, restaurants,
cafes and pubs, office based companies like accountants, solicitors, IT firms etc.
You
can filter by distance from your postcode, postcode areas, districts and sectors, plus
many other director based filters.
Count

Generally, over 2000 companies get formed every day
GDPR Peace of Mind
When you are happy with your count, choose to buy your GDPR compliant, legitimate interest based data.
OK, so what do I get, or more importantly, what don’t I get?
Newly Formed Companies data is ultimately sourced through Companies House when a company files for registration so any data provided has to come from that initial application. We provide a directors first name and surname (The Mr / Mrs status is not a requirement on a company incorporation but where it is provided, we supply it), the company name, the registered office address and postcode and any categories the company considers itself to be in (Standard Industrial Classification codes). Concerned that maybe the registered office address is at an accountants or mail forwarding company? Don't worry, we can filter most of these out for you
A company has to legally receive post to their registered office address, whereas contact via email or telephone is very likely to break GDPR rules. Postal options allow potential customers to read your literature at their leisure and can be far cheaper than targeting local newspaper adverts or pay-per-click advertising on search engines. Concerned about the mailing preference service? The address we provide is the registered office address. This is the address on public record for the company. Even if the address is on the mailing preference service register, company post has to legally be received at the address provided on the register.
