File Description [top]

The ICC British Company Directory is a comprehensive reference source for 3.83 million registered companies in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The file contains a record for each company included on the Index of Companies maintained by the official Companies Registration Offices in the U.K. The database also indexes companies that have been dissolved since 1968.

A cross-reference to ICC British Company Financial Datasheets (File 562) is provided within the records when more detailed coverage is available in that file.

Use file 561 to check:

Whether a company exists and establish its correct name
The date a company was formed
Whether a proposed company name is already in use
Possible infringements of your company name
The date a company last filed accounts
Companies incorporated on a particular date

Companies registered at a specific address

Information in File 561 is derived from documents required under British law to be filed by all registered companies at Companies House in the U.K.
