Does it include officers and charges?

Yes. Officers and charges are returned as lists with a total count each, plus a truncated flag when the list is shorter than the total.

Can I get filed documents?

Not from this record. The Companies House filings source lists filing history with document links, one company at a time.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

What does a lookup cost?

30 points per resolved lookup, which is $30 per 1,000, and only successful lookups are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance, so there is no separate per-country contract.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: a Companies House company number, or the link to the company page
You get back: status, registration date, registered address, SIC codes, previous names, accounts and confirmation-statement dates, officers and charges
Coverage: United Kingdom — entities on Companies House.
Price: 30 pts — $30 per 1,000; Charged only when the record resolves. A lookup that finds nothing is not billed.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Companies House directly	Open Companies House and read the record	Usually free, sometimes per-document	A different interface, language and data shape for every country you add
Collecting it yourself	Build and host a crawler per register, then keep each one alive	Infrastructure and maintenance	Registers change their pages without warning, and nobody is on the hook when yours breaks
NeuralVerge	One request, the same shape as every other source in the catalog	$30 per 1,000, misses not billed	Covers United Kingdom — other countries are separate sources with the same request format

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

One company per request. Pass the registration number or the link to the record on the register.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-uk-companies \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company":"00445790"}'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Counterparty and supplier checks

Confirm a UK company is active, see its registered address and check whether accounts or confirmation statements are overdue before you sign.

Credit and lending review

Read outstanding charges and their holders, plus insolvency cases, for a company you are about to lend to or extend terms to.

Ownership and officer research

Pull current officers with appointment dates and follow each officer link, and see whether PSC information exists or the company is exempt.

CRM and KYC enrichment

Fill company type, SIC code, incorporation date and previous names from a company number you already hold.

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.

Coverage

United Kingdom — entities on Companies House.

Freshness

Read at request time, so the answer reflects the register as it stands when you ask.

Handling

Companies House is a public register. Every response carries the source URL it was read from and a session id you can trace.

What it will not do

—Officers and charges come back as capped lists; officers_total and charges_total give the full count and the truncated flags tell you when the list is shorter.
—Company type and PSC fields can be empty depending on the company; the sample shows an empty PSC list for a listed company.
—Filed documents are not in this record. Use Companies House filings for the filing history.
