Description

Supply a company registration number to retrieve:

basic company information including name, address, SIC code
credit ratings (0-100 score, 100 is best)
recommended monthly credit limits
previous names
status history (summary of changes)
full financial details including balance sheet and P&L
director details
shareholder details
trading addresses
mortgage details

The exact details that are available will vary between companies as some have to report more details than others. Smaller companies will typically only report limited financial details.

Multiple credit ratings and limits may be returned. This reflects the change in these values over time. Each rating and limit has an associated date indicating the date on which that became the effective rating or limit. The one with the latest date should be treated as the currently effective value. This will be the first one in the list.
