Finding company information

Business research can include information on company reports, share price datadirectors or shareholders, ownership structures, business statistics, credit ratings, market research and articles in trade journals and newspapers

There are many websites, databases and other sources which can be used to research businesses based in the UK; the availability of information depends on the legal status of a business and the disclosure requirements. All limited companies in the UK are registered at Companies House and are required to file:

  • Annual return - information about directors and company secretary, registered office address, shareholders and share capital
  • Annual accounts- all companies must keep accounting records.

As well as our subscribed sources a company's own website can also be a useful source of information on corporate structures, services, products, contacts, vacancies and links to annual reports and newsletters.
