What this is
CompanyBeacon is a public-record research tool for UK company monitoring and KYB. It brings approved official evidence into one source-linked journey: current Companies House status, filing dates, public-contract awards, exact legal-entity identifiers and source-dated reports. Public search and published pages are free; one-off evidence packs and recurring monitoring are offered by scoped quote.

Where the data comes from
CompanyBeacon publishes third-party official data and does not originate company records. The current sources are:
- Companies House — company identity, status and filing dates. Crown copyright, published for Companies House's public task and subject to Companies House copyright terms.
- Contracts Finder — published UK public-contract award notices, matched to companies only on an exact published
GB-COHidentifier. Open Government Licence v3.0. - Charity Commission register — registered-charity records used for company–charity links. Open Government Licence v3.0.
- GLEIF — Legal Entity Identifier records, linked only where registration authority
RA000585carries the same Companies House number. Published under CC0 1.0. - UK official statistics — national indicators used for operating-context reports. Open Government Licence v3.0.
Each dataset's extract date, import date and licence is shown on the data sources page. Source data remains subject to its own licence.
How it is kept current
Company status is resolved live against Companies House where a page can do so, and is otherwise served from a dated snapshot that is labelled as a snapshot. A scheduled job rechecks tracked companies daily. A page being rendered today does not make the underlying extract current, so every figure is shown with the date it belongs to.
What CompanyBeacon does not do
It is not financial, investment, tax, legal or credit advice, and it is not a credit-reference agency. A company status is a register fact, not a judgement about a business, its solvency or its performance. Public-contract awards are the notices that were published, not a supplier's total revenue. Raw officer, PSC, address and date-of-birth records are not republished. Verify anything material at the original source before relying on it. The methodology page sets out the identity rules and limitations in full.
