Free Companies House Checker
Check a UK company before adding it to a CRM, sales list, or enrichment workflow. Enter a company name, company number, or website to find its Companies House status, official name, directors, registered office, and key public details.
This is a read-only public lookup. It does not write anything to DataFixr and it does not assess creditworthiness, solvency, fraud risk, or whether a business is a good prospect.
Run a Companies House check

Why check Companies House before CRM import or enrichment?
A public Companies House check helps you confirm which legal entity you are dealing with before records are standardised, merged, enriched, or synced into a CRM. That reduces the chance of loading the wrong company number, matching to the wrong legal name, or keeping a stale status on a record that downstream teams trust.
For broader workflows, DataFixr combines company data checks with CRM data cleaning, B2B data enrichment, and CSV cleaning so the company lookup fits into a usable process rather than a manual side check.
What company status means
Active
The company is currently shown as active on the public register. That does not mean it is a good prospect or financially healthy. It only reflects the Companies House register status.
Dissolved
The legal entity has been dissolved. This is a strong signal to stop and review before importing the record into a live CRM workflow.
Liquidation or administration
These statuses indicate a formal insolvency-related process or another serious company event. Review the official register before relying on the record.
Proposal to strike off
This indicates a public register process rather than a clean "active" state. Treat it as a review point, not a go-ahead for automation.
How directors and PSCs help data-quality checks
Directors and PSCs do not tell you whether a company is trustworthy, but they are useful when you need to confirm that two company records really point to the same legal entity. They can help during a company status checker review, a company directors lookup, or a company data check before enrichment when names and domains alone look ambiguous.
They are especially helpful when you are trying to standardise company names at scale or tidy a messy import before matching companies inside a CRM.
When to use DataFixr after a lookup
Use this Companies House checker first when you need a quick read-only company data check. If you then need to deduplicate, standardise, enrich, or validate a larger batch of records, move into the wider DataFixr workflow. The supporting guides on data enrichment, what B2B data enrichment is, and data enrichment vs cleansing vs validation cover where a Companies House lookup fits into that process.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a Companies House checker?
- A Companies House checker is a lookup tool that returns public Companies House records for a UK company. It helps you review the company status, official name, company number, registered office, directors, and persons with significant control before you use that record in a CRM, lead list, or enrichment workflow.
- Can I search by company name, number, or website?
- Yes. This checker accepts a company name, a UK company number, or a website/domain. Auto-detect will try to recognise when the input looks like a company number or domain and then run the appropriate Companies House lookup path.
- What does company status mean?
- Company status is the public Companies House status for that entity, such as active, dissolved, liquidation, administration, or proposal to strike off. It describes the register status of the legal entity. It does not tell you whether the company is a good customer, financially healthy, or operationally trustworthy.
- Does this check if a company is trustworthy?
- No. This tool only surfaces public Companies House data. It does not verify creditworthiness, solvency, fraud risk, identity, trading quality, or whether a business is a good prospect. Use the official register and additional due-diligence sources for critical decisions.
- Can I export the Companies House lookup?
- Yes. You can copy a plain-text summary or download a markdown report after a successful match. The export is generated in the browser and is not stored or shared by DataFixr.
- Why should I check Companies House before CRM import?
- Checking Companies House before CRM import helps you avoid loading the wrong company name, missing company numbers, stale statuses, or mismatched legal entities into your CRM. It is especially useful when standardising company records or preparing company data for enrichment.
- Is Companies House data enough for B2B data enrichment?
- No. Companies House data is a useful public reference for company identity and legal-entity details, but it is only one input. Most B2B enrichment workflows also need domain checks, contact data, deduplication, field standardisation, and additional validation before records are outreach-ready.
Clean company records after the lookup, not after the CRM breaks
Use the Companies House checker to confirm the legal entity, then use DataFixr to standardise company names, clean imports, enrich records, and keep company data usable at scale.
