Who we are

Company Name Checker is run by Tim. Contact: tim@companynamechecker.co.uk.

What we collect

• Names you check. When you check a company name, the name is sent to our server to look it up. If our data doesn't find a match, the name may also be sent to the Companies House API to check for companies registered recently. We don't link names you check to you.
• Technical logs. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes the requests your browser makes (including IP address and the page requested) to run and protect the site. Logs are kept for a short period to fix errors.

We don't set cookies and we don't run advertising trackers. If that changes, we'll update this page first.

Company information we show

Company names, numbers, statuses and filing dates come from Companies House's public register. We don't show the names or addresses of directors.

Links to other sites

Some links go to providers such as registration services and business accounts. Once you leave our site, their privacy policies apply. See how we're funded.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). To make a request, contact tim@companynamechecker.co.uk.
