1,234 of 1,940 companies, with £10bn between them, read from their own SH01 filings and checked against a Crunchbase snapshot and our news-extracted funding feed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is CompanyTrack?

CompanyTrack is a UK company intelligence platform. We bring together Companies House data, financial accounts, directors, shareholders, ownership and filing history for 17 million UK companies — so you can research any business in seconds instead of trawling PDFs.

Where does the data come from?

We aggregate data from Companies House, financial filings and other official UK sources, enriched with signals like funding rounds, grants, council spending and live job listings. Data is updated daily.

Is it free to get started?

Yes — you can browse company and director profiles without an account (10 searches and 5 profile views a day), and the Starter and Professional plans start with a 3-day free trial of the full product. Searches and company pages cost 1 credit, credit reports 5, and AI analysis 10, with plans from 500 to 10,000 credits a month.

What can I search by?

Over 20 filters including industry, revenue, profit, growth rate, headcount, incorporation date, location, ownership structure, certifications, hiring activity and government contracts — and you can combine them all.

Can I search directors and shareholders too?

Yes — alongside company search there are dedicated director and shareholder searches. Find people by name, appointments, or track record (like directors who previously built a £10m+ business), and see every company they sit behind.

Can I monitor companies for changes?

Yes. Add companies to collections — handpicked lists or saved searches that re-run live — and get alerts when new accounts are filed, officers change or new companies match your criteria.

Can I export data?

CSV export is included on every paid plan — Starter and up — and every plan's credits work in the app, the API and the MCP server. Bulk company matching comes with Professional, where you can add team seats; Business includes ten seats.

Can I change my plan later?

Yes — upgrades, downgrades and cancellations are self-serve from the Billing page, and Starter and Professional start with a 3-day free trial.

How do you know which 2024 raises never appeared in funding databases?

Private limited companies whose own SH01 filings show £1m–£100m of new shares allotted in 2024 (electronically filed and parsed, in sterling, past our plausibility check, one- and two-share intra-group allotments excluded), with 3+ shareholders, leaving out acquisition vehicles (topco, midco, bidco and the like) and holding-company, investment-fund, property-investment, dormant and non-trading SIC codes: 1,940 companies. 1,234 of them (63.6%) had no funding round in either source we cross-checked: a Crunchbase snapshot matched by company number (rounds announced Oct 2023 to Mar 2025; the snapshot ends 7 Feb 2025) and our news-extracted funding feed over the same window. A raise may still have been reported somewhere we did not check.
