Can I open the filed document?

Each entry has a document_url pointing to the PDF on Companies House.

Where do I get the company profile?

Companies House company returns the profile, officers and charges for the same number.

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?

1 point per returned record, which is $1 per 1,000, and only records that come back are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance, so there is no separate per-country contract.

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 the company on Companies House and page through the list	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	$1 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.

Results come back in the same envelope as every other source: a session id, a readable summary, the structured result and the points charged.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-uk-company-filings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company":"00445790","max_items":2}'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Monitor corporate events

Watch for share changes, charges, officer changes and accounts as they are filed.

Pull the source document

Open the PDF behind a figure or event instead of relying on a summary.

Due-diligence timeline

Build a dated history of what a company has filed over the years.

Compliance checks

Check that the expected filings, such as accounts, appear on schedule.

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

—total_found is null in the sample, so the full count of filings is not reported; use max_items and the page you need.
—The description is the register's own text and can include annotations as written.
—Document contents are not parsed; you get the link to the PDF.
