Search Methods

The Explorer supports five different ways to find companies. You can combine any search query with advanced filters to narrow results.

Name Search
Type a company name or 8-digit company number. Partial names work too — searching “Revolut” will match “Revolut Ltd”, “Revolut Group”, and related entities.
SIC Code Search
Enter a Standard Industrial Classification code to find companies by industry. For example, 62020 returns IT consultancy firms, 41201 returns construction companies.
Location Search
Search by full or partial postcode, town name, or county. Enter “EC2A” for Shoreditch-based companies or “Manchester” for all companies in that city.
Semantic Search
Describe what a company does in natural language. Try queries like “fintech companies in London” or “renewable energy manufacturers”. The search understands meaning, not just keywords.
Advanced Filters
Narrow results by company status, whether they have a website or email, mortgage counts, and more. Filters can be combined with any search method above.

Search Tips

Tips for better results
  • Use the 8-digit company number for an exact match — e.g. 09215862 takes you directly to that company.
  • Use semantic search to search by what companies do, not just their names. “AI-powered drug discovery startups” works better than guessing company names.
  • Combine a SIC code with a location to find companies in a specific industry and area — e.g. SIC 62020 + postcode EC2A for tech consultancies in Shoreditch.
  • Filter by “Has Website” to focus on companies with an online presence, which tend to have richer data in their profiles.
  • Set the status filter to “Active” to exclude dissolved and struck-off companies from your results.
