Find a company, telephone number and company details

This method gives users of your website, or staff accessing internal systems, the ability to find a company in the UK, their telephone number and other details. This can be especially useful for sales and marketing teams operating in Business to Business markets who wish to make contact with prospective customers.

With our data updated daily, you won’t find a more up-to-date source of UK company information available. Plus, with our ‘fuzzy matching’, the method will still return a result of the closest possible matches even if the company name is inaccurate or has been entered incorrectly.

API method to use: business_search

An additional amount of company information can also be obtained by combining this method with company_details.

How it works

The method searches the UK Phone Book and Companies House data to return a company or business and it’s listed telephone number, address and website. A result is achieved when the following data is supplied:

• Company Name
• City, town or postcode (optional location to narrow results)
• Business type (optional, can be combined with location if company name not known to find particular types of businesses in a certain area).

If an exact match to a company name cannot be found, our ‘Fuzzy-matching’ will return a set of closest matches to the details entered.
