Is DueDil Still Available? The Best DueDil Alternatives in 2026
If you have been asking is DueDil still available, the short answer is that the standalone product is no longer offered to new customers. DueDil was one of the best-known UK company data and due-diligence platforms, used by sales teams, credit analysts, and compliance professionals to research British businesses. However, the standalone DueDil product is no longer available to new customers. DueDil merged with Artesian Solutions, and the combined business moved to an enterprise model - meaning the self-serve DueDil that many users knew is effectively gone. If you are looking for a DueDil alternative, this guide covers your best options in 2026.
Why People Are Looking for a DueDil Alternative
The demand for DueDil alternatives falls into a few distinct categories. Some users need to look up UK company information for due diligence - checking directors, financials, and ownership before entering a contract or relationship. Others need credit risk data to assess whether to extend credit to a business. And a growing group of sales and lead-generation teams need a way to identify and monitor newly registered UK companies - firms that have just incorporated and are in the market for exactly the products and services you sell.
DueDil tried to serve all three of these groups. Most alternatives specialise in one or two of them, which is worth keeping in mind when you are choosing a replacement.
The Best DueDil Alternatives in 2026
Companies House (Free, Official)
The UK's official company register is freely available at companieshouse.gov.uk. Every UK limited company, LLP, and partnership is listed here with its registered address, directors, filing history, accounts, and persons with significant control. The data is authoritative because it is the primary source - everything else derives from it. The limitation is that Companies House is a raw register, not a research tool: there is no enrichment, no credit scoring, and the search interface is basic. For one-off lookups it is hard to beat for price (free), but for bulk research or ongoing monitoring it is cumbersome.
Endole
Endole aggregates Companies House data and adds some enrichment, presenting it in a cleaner interface with additional context on financials and directors. It offers both free lookups and paid tiers. It is a reasonable choice if you want something more polished than raw Companies House without the cost of a full credit bureau. Coverage is strong on UK companies; depth of financial insight is moderate.
Red Flag Alert
Red Flag Alert focuses on business health monitoring and credit risk. It is particularly well regarded for early-warning signals - identifying companies showing signs of financial distress before they fail. If your primary use case is credit risk or you need to monitor a portfolio of existing customers or suppliers for financial deterioration, Red Flag Alert is worth evaluating. It is a subscription product aimed at B2B teams rather than one-off users.
Creditsafe
Creditsafe is one of the largest business credit bureaux in the UK, with strong coverage across Europe. It offers credit scores, credit limits, payment data, and detailed company reports. For due diligence and credit assessment, it is a comprehensive option used by finance teams, credit controllers, and compliance departments. The data depth is considerably greater than Companies House alone, and the platform is built for scale. Pricing is subscription-based and aimed at business users.
NewcoHunter
NewcoHunter is purpose-built for a specific use case that no other tool here covers well: monitoring newly registered UK companies by SIC code (industry), location, and date. If you sell to new businesses - accountants targeting freshly incorporated companies, insurance brokers looking for new start-ups, payment processors wanting to reach companies before they have set up a merchant account - NewcoHunter delivers a weekly email digest of new incorporations that match your criteria. It is not a credit bureau or a full company-data platform; it does not provide credit scores or detailed financial histories. What it does is give you the earliest possible signal of a new business entering your target market, so you can reach them before your competitors do. Search by SIC code, filter by region, and get new companies delivered to your inbox. Try the new companies directory or the free company search to see the data first-hand.
Which Alternative Is Right for You?
The right DueDil replacement depends on what you were actually using DueDil for.
- Free one-off company lookups. Companies House is free, authoritative, and covers every registered UK company. Start there.
- Credit risk and due diligence on existing companies. Creditsafe or Red Flag Alert are the strongest options. Both offer credit scores, payment data, and financial analysis that goes well beyond the raw register. Endole is a lighter-weight middle ground if cost is a factor.
- Finding and monitoring newly registered companies for sales lead generation. None of the credit bureaux or general company-data tools are optimised for this. NewcoHunter is built specifically for it - SIC-code and location filters, weekly email alerts, and a focus on companies in their first weeks of existence when buying decisions are being made.
If you used DueDil primarily for prospecting and lead generation rather than credit or compliance, the gap it has left is best filled by a combination: Companies House (or a free tool built on it) for one-off lookups, and a monitoring tool like NewcoHunter for ongoing new-company lead generation.
Getting Started
For due diligence and credit checks on existing companies, Creditsafe and Red Flag Alert both offer trials - contact them directly. For finding newly registered UK companies by industry and location, you can start with NewcoHunter immediately: browse the new companies directory, search with the free company search tool, or see a full comparison of how NewcoHunter differs from legacy platforms on the DueDil vs NewcoHunter page.
