Our Top Tips for Company Searching Efficiently

Are you struggling to find a company on our system? Fear not, here are some hints and tips to get you searching with the best of them.

Ltd or Limited? Don’t use either.

Our system recognises the precise name that a company was formed with (unless the company has changed its name), therefore if you search for An Example Ltd, but the company was formed as An Example Limited, it will not appear in your results. Our tip? Just search for the name and leave off limited or ltd.

Got the name? Got the number?

We recommend searching with the company name or company number, not both. The reason for this? The more streamlined the search, the fewer margins for error.

We love the company number.

Searching via the company number is the most effective way to use our search system. To search with the number simply select “Advanced Search” from our homepage. Company numbers can be found using the Companies House webcheck.

Looking for a dissolved company?

Our default search only includes active limited companies. If you want to search for a dissolved company, select “Advanced Search” and tick the “Include Dissolved” box.

We hope this helps. As per usual, if you have any questions, get in touch below.
