UK Corporate Intelligence
The UK's most comprehensive corporate data API. Company profiles, director networks, beneficial ownership, and corporate relationships - powered by AI-driven entity resolution that links the same person across every directorship and connects companies to physical locations via UPRN.
Beyond Company Lookups
Standard company search tells you about ONE company. Our corporate graph lets you traverse relationships: find all companies a person directs, all companies at an address, all subsidiaries of a parent entity. Answer questions like "what else does this director control?" in a single API call.
AI-Powered Person Resolution
The same person appears differently across filings - "J Smith", "John Smith", "John Robert Smith". Our fingerprint-based deduplication identifies the same natural person across appointments using normalised names and date of birth matching. Get a unified view of any individual's complete corporate footprint.
UPRN-Linked Addresses
Every registered office and service address is resolved to UK Unique Property Reference Numbers with confidence scoring. Enable spatial queries: find companies within a radius, identify address clusters, detect multiple registrations at the same physical location - a key indicator for shell company networks.
Overview
A unified corporate intelligence layer combining Companies House registration data with AI-powered entity resolution and address matching. Go beyond simple company lookups - understand the complete network of who controls what, where companies operate, and how directors connect across the UK corporate landscape.
The API delivers linked corporate data that standard Companies House access cannot provide. Query a person and discover every directorship they hold, every company they control, and their complete appointment history. Query an address and find every company registered there. Query a company and see its full ownership chain through PSCs and corporate directors.
Person deduplication uses fingerprint-based matching to identify the same individual across different company appointments - even when names are recorded differently or partially obscured. Address resolution links every registered office and service address to UK UPRN identifiers, enabling spatial analysis and fraud detection patterns like shell company clusters.
Data flows from official Companies House bulk files with daily updates for PSCs. Officers, companies, addresses, and control relationships are normalised into a consistent schema optimised for relationship traversal and network analysis.
