Public beta · Companies House
The daily feed contains sanitized, live Companies House responses captured by the service. Query the public REST preview without payment by adding payment=false; demo calls are limited to five per minute per client IP. Stripe prepaid credits are available in test mode only; there are no live charges or approved commercial prices. This is not a complete or production financial screening service. The older static example below is a historical sandbox capture from 2026-10-23.
Latest live samples
One sanitized Companies House profile is queried from the service each day. Samples are public and free to download; they are examples, not a complete monitoring feed.

What the service aggregates
The service combines live Companies House lookups with observed Gazette corporate insolvency notices and Find a Tender contract awards under Open Government Licence v3.0.
The Gazette
Corporate insolvency notices (Category 24: winding-up petitions, liquidator appointments, administration notices) linked by company number.
Polled every 10 min · OGL v3Find a Tender Service
UK high-value public-sector contract awards (OCDS award-stage releases) linked to supplier company numbers.
Polled every 30 min · OGL v3Why use one evidence service?
- Fewer manual lookups: fetch identity and filing deadlines from one attributable response.
- Machine-readable evidence: pass structured fields and provenance into an agent, onboarding workflow or case-management system.
- Reviewable decisions: follow source links and timestamps rather than treating an unexplained score as fact.
- Explicit scope: company registry and filing fields only; no sanctions, AML, credit or legal clearance.
