Who we are
Our Digital, Data and Technology department plays a pivotal role in ensuring that we’re able to provide an innovative, open and trusted company register.
The data on the register was searched 9.9 billion times in 2020 to support the making of millions of business decisions.
The rates at which Companies House needs to adapt to changing customer, service user and stakeholder expectations, legislation and new technical capabilities is rising.

Our services and data must be accessible and usable by all, so that creating and maintaining a company and searching about companies remains as simple as possible, maximising the value of the register to the UK economy.
Our people, services and data are key to the successful delivery of our transformation.
Our services and data are used to provide transparency and build confidence in the UK economy.
