OrbitReach

Registry-backed local prospecting

Find UK local businesses — and the people who run them.

One plain-language request searches the UK's local economy. Live listings say who trades where, the business website says how to reach them, and Companies House says who is legally behind the company.

What should we find?

Find leads

UK search workflow

Local discovery first. Official records where they add confidence.

Each layer answers a different question: which businesses operate here, what they publish about themselves, and which legal entity and people appear in the official register.

01Start with the local market

Ask for a category and a place — independent dental practices in Manchester rated 4.5 and above.

02Build the business set

The live listing supplies trading name, address, phone, website, rating, review count and Maps URL.

03Read the business website

A bounded crawl looks for a published legal name, company number, and named owners or directors across contact, about and team pages.

04Match Companies House

A company number published on the site is used first. Otherwise a strong legal-name match is required, with the postcode used to separate candidates.

05Return people with provenance

A match adds the company number, active directors or LLP members, and individual persons with significant control, each linked to the official record.

Evidence boundaries

A registry identity is not a contact detail.

Companies House confirms who is legally appointed. It does not publish their email addresses or phone numbers, so Orbitreach never labels a contact detail as registry data.

What the register returns

  • Company number and registered name
  • Registered office address
  • Active directors and LLP members
  • Individual persons with significant control
  • Appointment dates
About Companies House
A company number published by the business takes priority over name search.
Name-only candidates need a very strong match; the postcode separates them.
Ambiguous candidates are rejected rather than forced into a match.
Resigned officers and ceased PSC records are never returned as people.
Email addresses and phone numbers require separate public evidence.

United Kingdom local business lead finder FAQ

Questions before you search.

Can Orbitreach find UK businesses that are missing from Apollo?

Orbitreach starts from live local listings rather than a pre-built corporate contact database, so independent and local UK businesses that are thin or absent elsewhere still appear. What comes back still depends on what the business, the listing, and the register publish.

Does Companies House provide director email addresses?

No. Companies House publishes company and officer identity records, not email addresses or phone numbers. Contact details in Orbitreach come from the business website or other public evidence, and are labelled as such.

How does Orbitreach avoid matching the wrong UK company?

It prefers a company number the business publishes itself. Without one it requires high name similarity, uses the postcode to separate candidates, and returns nothing when the best two remain close.

Which UK people can a deep search return?

Active directors, active LLP members, and individual persons with significant control. Resigned and ceased records are excluded.

Is Companies House data free to use?

Companies House publishes this data openly. Orbitreach reads it through the official API rather than scraping the website.
