How this service works
Eckari is the machine-native utility layer for capabilities agents do not already have. Every route is a provider-neutral capability with channel pricing for Eckari account keys and accountless x402 payment.
Output
Returns a paginated list of PSC (Persons with Significant Control) records for the specified UK company, including active and ceased owners, any exemptions (e.g. listed company exemptions under DTR5 or UK regulated market rules), statements, ownership status classification (e.g. 'exempt_listed_company'), and counts of active/ceased entries. Metadata includes source (Companies House), data freshness (live), and API version.
Example use cases
KYC beneficial ownership check
“I need to verify who ultimately owns and controls UK company number 09876543 — can you pull their PSC register from Companies House so I can complete our KYC check?”
Due diligence on acquisition target
“We're considering acquiring a UK business with company number 07123456. Can you fetch their current ownership and PSC data so I can see who holds significant control?”
Check if listed company is PSC-exempt
“Is UK company number 00445790 exempt from disclosing its persons with significant control, and if so under what exemption? Pull the Companies House ownership record for me.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.eckari.com/v1/companies/uk/%7Bcompany_number%7D/ownersWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need live, authoritative PSC/beneficial ownership data for a specific UK company directly from Companies House. Prefer this over manual Companies House web lookups or third-party enrichment databases when you need structured, machine-readable ownership data with real-time freshness and pay-per-call pricing via x402 (no subscription needed).
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed company number returns an empty result set or error
- Company not found in Companies House register returns 404 or empty items array
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 returns 402 Payment Required
- Companies House upstream unavailability may cause delayed or failed responses
- Company with no PSC data returns empty items with zero active/ceased counts
