Straight answers about UK Companies House data
How many UK companies sit behind the Datadory extract?
Roughly 5 million live companies, with several million dissolved ones retrievable alongside - incorporation dates running back to 1862. The register is the definitive census of British corporate life: every limited company that exists has a row here, whether it employs two people or twenty thousand.
Can I isolate just the data processing and outsourcing companies?
Yes. Every registered company declares its SIC code, so SIC 63110 - data processing, hosting and related activities - isolates this industry directly: 48,674 companies matched that single code in an August 2026 count, before widening to web portals or other information services.
How far back do the records reach?
To incorporation. Each company's history runs from registration onward, and the oldest observed records date to 1862 - a mutual life assurance society still fully described a century and a half after it dissolved. Trend work across decades is practical, not aspirational.
What do officer and PSC records add?
Who runs the company and who owns it. Directors and secretaries arrive with appointment dates, roles and occupations; persons with significant control name the shareholders behind the threshold bands. Cross-reference the two lists and you get the network map - who sits on which boards, which names keep reappearing across supposedly unrelated firms.
