Welcome to Companies House
We're more than just a government agency - we're a thriving community of professionals dedicated to driving innovation, fostering diversity, and making a meaningful impact - to the UK economy, and the lives of the people who live and work here.
Whether you're an experienced professional or just starting your career journey, our dynamic and inclusive workplace could be the place for you.
Driving confidence in the UK economy
At Companies House we drive confidence in the economy and make the UK a great place to start and run a business. We do this by registering company information and making it publicly and freely available. The data on our register helps to inform millions of business decisions annually.
If a business wants to operate as a limited company and benefit from limited liability, it needs to register with us. In exchange, they must comply with standards, transparency and accountability. This gives confidence to businesses, investors, society, consumers and the UK economy as a whole.
There are more than 5 million limited companies registered in the UK, and last year over 600,000 new companies were incorporated with us.
