We use Companies House bulk data products and the Companies House API for per-company display when needed.
You are responsible for complying with applicable data protection and other laws when publishing or reusing information.
Company data product (bulk CSV)
- Monthly snapshot of live companies (basic details, status, SIC, dates).
- Compiled up to end of previous month and published within 5 working days.
- Used to populate the UK company directory in CadFiles.ai.
Accounts data product (XBRL / iXBRL)
- Daily and monthly ZIPs of electronically filed accounts documents (XBRL / iXBRL).
- CadFiles.ai extracts structured facts from filings to compute KPIs and build CFR reports.
- We prefer publishing derived fields/metrics rather than redistributing original documents.
PSC data (People with Significant Control)
- PSC can be fetched per company via Companies House API and cached in our database.
- Personal-data safeguards: we mask street/premises and full postcode in the UI by default.
- Requests: you can request suppression/correction via our support workflow.
Note: Companies House states it imposes no rules on how public register information is used, but you are responsible for compliance
with applicable data protection, copyright and other legislation before publishing.
