United Kingdom (UK) Companies House integration upgraded with structured financial documents
What did we upgrade?
We’re excited to announce an upgrade to our integration with the United Kingdom’s Companies House. In addition to the existing entity, officer, and shareholder information available through the KYC API, you can now access structured financial documents from Companies House. This enhancement is offered exclusively through the Entity Verification API.
A new financial product is now available:
- Financials (Comprehensive) – Corporate comprehensive financial information retrieved in real time from Companies House.
The product is delivered as a structured financial document within the API response.
Please note: UK structured financials will not be available via the KYC API. They will be only accessible via the Entity Verification API.
Why did we upgrade?
Introducing structured financial documents from Companies House improves the completeness and structure of financial information available for UK entities.
What’s included?
Companies House maintains one of the largest corporate registers in Europe, with a substantial number of entities filing financial information each year.
Each financial product includes:
- JSON output
- structured financial comprehensive document derived directly from Companies House filings
