FinUK: The Missing Companies House API

FinUK: The Missing Companies House API

Companies House returns financial data as PDFs. FinUK returns it as structured JSON: turnover, profit, balance sheet, ratios, and more. One API call per company, up to 17 years of history.

Financial data, structured

The financials endpoint returns everything filed in a company's accounts: turnover, gross profit, operating profit, net assets, cash, employee count, gross margin, current ratio, debt-to-equity, ROE, auditor details, and filing period. Each year is a separate object, so you can chart trends without parsing anything.

Beyond financials

Five additional endpoints cover the rest of what Companies House holds:

  • Officers – current and resigned directors with roles, appointment dates, and nationality.
  • Filings – complete filing timeline with document types and download links.
  • Ownership – persons with significant control and nature of control.
  • Charges – registered charges, secured parties, and satisfaction dates.
  • Insolvency – insolvency cases, practitioners, and proceeding dates.

There is also a search endpoint for finding companies by name or number.

REST API with dedicated keys

Generate API keys from within the tool and authenticate with a single header. Every endpoint returns consistent JSON. Response times are typically under 50ms.
