Newly Formed UK Companies

Congratulations! There is no better way to target a newly formed company before they've even got a business email address or telephone number, and you have found that service

Get in touch with a brand new company within 1 working day of when they formed their company with Companies House. If you wait until they have an email address, have a telephone number and those details are on public record, it's too late. 

The best time to convert a prospect to a new customer is before they've got an existing supplier lined up, and your best chance is shortly after they have registered their business. You aren't splashing money out on Google Ads with a scatter gun approach of "I hope a new company is searching for my product", you aren't waiting to get hold of an email address months later and sending emails that will likely go into spam anyway, you are getting your service in front of a director within a short time of them registering that business - prime time for when they are looking for your service.

Get their first before your competitors do !

🏷️

🔄

Updated Tuesday to Saturday

Data comes in on the day after the previous working day (Tuesday to Saturday) with Tuesday including additional companies formed over the weekend at Companies House.

🧹

Smart Exclusions

We compare registered office addresses with other companies to help identify mail forwarding services and we exclude them by default (you can add them back in if you want them).

📊

Accountants

Every company needs an accountant and/or bookkeeper and with our geographical filtering you can be sure you are contacting a company local to you.

💻

Email and Web Sites

Every new business needs a website, hosting and email services. Use our industry filtering to include only companies you think you might convert  - ie retail, rather than  everyone.

📞

Telecoms

VoIP services are  great for new businesses because they don't need new landlines installed and once someone has a landline they don't want to lose it by moving elsewhere.

🛡️

Insurance & Card Payments

Most companies need professional indemnity and public liability insurance - even if they are working from home so this is a great way to get new business.

So, how do you find out about these companies?


All limited companies have to be registered with Companies House, the registrar of companies in the UK. Certain information, including the company name and the “registered office” address are in the public domain – you can see it free of charge yourself, by going to the Companies House website and typing in the company name or registration number to see the address of the company.

However, the Companies House website doesn’t provide any kind of date of incorporation filtering – its either the company name or company number you search by and they certainly do not provide a multiple record export service.

The solution

Decide on Frequency

You can get a one off export of data or schedule to receive automatically daily, weekly, fortnightly or 4 weekly.

There is no commitment. We don't do contracts. Just pay as you go.

Filters

Are you looking for local companies or certain business types? 


You can target by over 700 categories, including various retail, hotels, restaurants, cafes and pubs, office based companies like accountants, solicitors, IT firms etc. 

 You can filter by distance from your postcode, postcode areas, districts and sectors, plus many other director based filters.

Count

Decide how many days of data you are looking for and get a FREE COUNT to identify how many companies match your criteria. 

Generally, over 2000 companies get formed every day

GDPR Peace of Mind

When you are happy with your count, choose to buy your GDPR compliant, legitimate interest based data.

OK, so what do I get, or more importantly, what don’t I get?


Newly Formed Companies data is ultimately sourced through Companies House when a company files for registration so any data provided has to come from that initial application. We provide a directors first name and surname (The Mr / Mrs status is not a requirement on a company incorporation but where it is provided, we supply it), the company name, the registered office address and postcode and any categories the company considers itself to be in (Standard Industrial Classification codes). Concerned that maybe the registered office address is at an accountants or mail forwarding company? Don't worry, we can filter most of these out for you


Important: If you are looking for an email address or telephone number however, these are not part of the company registration process and so no company can provide these details for newly formed companies because they don't exist. If you want these, you have to speak to marketing companies who retrieve details from credit account applications or questionnaires over the course of 12 or 18 months once they have started trading - so quite some time after they have formed and well beyond the time that the new business is likely looking for your service.

A company has to legally receive post to their registered office address, whereas contact via email or telephone is very likely to break GDPR rules. Postal options allow potential customers to read your literature at their leisure and can be far cheaper than targeting local newspaper adverts or pay-per-click advertising on search engines. Concerned about the mailing preference service? The address we provide is the registered office address. This is the address on public record for the company. Even if the address is on the mailing preference service register, company post has to legally be received at the address provided on the register.
