INFORMATION ABOUT THE DATASET

Hopewiser create two Master Address Files from the Companies House data.

One being purely Companies House data, which is a file consisting of registered company addresses with the non-address information held as extra-data. The second is a merged file where we match the registered company addresses from the Companies House data with those held on the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF).

Where we find a match, we supplement the Royal Mail PAF with additional companies from the Companies House data. For this blended Master Address File, the same extra-data is used as per the first Master Address File.

Both datasets undergo a bespoke enhancement process to ensure the highest level of quality control.

Both offerings include access to the same non-address data items, including:

  • Company name
  • Company number
  • Company status
  • Incorporation date
  • Dissolution date
  • SIC codes
  • Previous company names
