Download the free CSV sample file with 30 fictitious businesses and check the columns in Excel or your CRM.

Data sources
Where the data come from
The UK company register is free to download, but it contains no phone numbers, email addresses or websites. Our dataset therefore combines open map data and the contact pages of company websites, and we match it with Companies House.
Open map data (CDLA Permissive 2.0) with name, address, phone and website of businesses; the basis of all 2,676,396 records (as at 4 November 2026).
Email addresses that businesses publish on their own websites; so far 603,041 live websites have been read. Addresses shared by several businesses are not counted as their own.
The free register snapshot of live companies with company number, registered office, company type, status and SIC codes. It adds identifiers, not contact details.
Figures from the ONS and Eurostat are only used to put the market size into context; they contain no details of individual businesses.

Figures for our dataset as at 4 November 2026; collection from company websites is still running and the figures are updated as it progresses. Contact figures refer to all records and overlap. Email addresses shared by three or more records with different names do not count as their own address. Phone numbers so far come from Overture Maps only. For comparison: 2,786,985 businesses registered for VAT and/or PAYE according to the ONS (March 2026). Details on the database status page, prices per industry in the price list.
Practical guidance
From the file to a clean, traceable dataset
Map columns before importing
Compare the 15 documented export fields with your target table. A general CSV file is not a guaranteed direct integration with any particular software.
Keep text fields as text
Postcodes, phone numbers and company numbers are identifiers, not numbers to calculate with. Check data types in the import preview so that leading zeros and prefixes such as SC or NI are kept.
Keep missing values visible
An empty field is not zero and not proof that the information does not exist. It means it is missing from the data provided. Your own verified information should not be overwritten by it.
Screen before you contact
Run phone numbers against TPS and CTPS before sales calls and keep your own suppression list for opt-outs. Separate sole traders and partnerships from limited companies before emailing.

On 4 November 2026 it held 2,676,396 records, 2,566,320 of them with a phone number, email address or website. Figures by nation are on the database status page. The quote confirms the actual size of your selection.
Choose an industry or name the nation, postcode areas and required fields in the request form. Before you order, we confirm scope, how current the data are, the price and the delivery date in writing. A request is not yet an order.
For limited companies, PLCs, LLPs and Scottish partnerships (“corporate subscribers”), the consent rule for marketing emails in regulation 22 PECR does not apply; every email must still identify you and offer a working way to opt out. Sole traders and partnerships in England, Wales and Northern Ireland count as individuals: they need consent or a soft opt-in. Details with sources: PECR rules for B2B email and calls.
Live sales calls are allowed unless the number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service or the Corporate TPS, or the business has told you not to call (regulations 21 and 26 PECR). Screening the numbers against TPS and CTPS before calling is your responsibility as the caller; the export is not screened. Automated recorded calls need consent.

The Companies House company number, once a record is matched with the register (matching is in progress). Sole traders and ordinary partnerships have no company number; for them, website and postcode are only hints and should be checked before you merge records.
Yes. The standard is a UTF-8 CSV file with semicolons as delimiters; in Excel, open it via Data › From Text/CSV. On request we deliver XLSX or JSON. The export and sample file page shows the columns.
The records come from Overture Maps (open map data with name, address, phone and website, licence CDLA Permissive 2.0) and from the contact pages of the businesses’ own websites, which we are still collecting. The free Companies House register will add company numbers and status to matched records; matching is in progress. Companies House publishes no phone numbers or email addresses. Details for each source: data sources and methodology.
Data about limited companies are not personal data. Data about sole traders, partners and named contact persons are personal data under the UK GDPR. We process them on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) UK GDPR); the information under Art. 14 UK GDPR is on the your rights page, and anyone can object at any time via the opt-out page.
