Companies in the UK is a free lookup site. Its homepage describes company details, officers and filings for every company on the UK register, sourced from Companies House and The Gazette, and you can search by name, company number, postcode or officer. It shows no pricing, export or alert product, which suits what it is: a quick way to check a company.
NewcoSignal starts in the same place. Company search and profiles are free and unlimited, so for a lookup you can use either. Where we differ is what happens when you stop looking up one company and start looking for many. A saved search by industry category and region runs against the register every day, and the new matches come to you by email, daily or weekly.
The free plan sends one saved search as a daily email of the top 5 new matches. Pro, at £39 per month + VAT or £348 a year + VAT, covers every match (up to 625 new companies a week), with 10 saved searches, instant, daily or weekly alerts, and CSV and Excel export. Instant means hourly delivery of daily Companies House data, not real time. Business at £99 per month + VAT adds unlimited searches and leads, native CRM sync and an API.
On the data, a new company on NewcoSignal shows a registered address (around 99.98% of new companies) and a named director (around 99%). We filter out formation-agent addresses and likely shell companies and offer a reachable-by-post filter for mailings. We show a contact email or website only where verified, which is rare for brand-new companies.
Use a lookup site when you have a name. Use NewcoSignal when you have a market and want the names to come to you. Both are free to try.
