Search established companies

Open Established Companies in the Research menu (/companies), set your filters and click Find companies. Free accounts see a 5-company preview of every search. Pro and Business show every result.

The filters

• Company status: Active (trading), In administration, or In liquidation.
• Sector and Location: choose from the lists, or leave on "Any".
• Growth trend: Any, Currently growing, Currently declining, or Recently reactivated.
• Financial health: Any, Financially healthy, or Under financial stress.
• Company size: Micro, Small, Medium, Large. This is the size band shown on the company's latest filed accounts.
• Accounts filed: a rough guide to how many years of accounts a company has filed.

Reading the results

Each result is a card with badges for what stands out:

• Growing: net assets rose substantially in its latest filed accounts.
• Shrinking: net assets fell substantially in its latest filed accounts.
• Negative assets: its latest accounts show it owes more than it owns.
• Accounts overdue: its annual accounts are overdue at Companies House.
• In administration, In liquidation and Solvent wind-down: the formal status of the company. A solvent wind-down is a company being closed by its owners while able to pay its debts.

These badges describe what the filed accounts and public record show. They do not predict what a company will do next. See Does a signal mean they will buy?
