Example prompt: Can you pull up the full Companies House registered profile for UK company number 00445790 — I need its name, active status, SIC codes, registered address, and any previous names?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a UK Companies House company number (CRN) and need the standard registered profile in a single call — ideal for KYB workflows, due diligence, CRM enrichment, or compliance checks. Prefer this over scraping Companies House directly or using generic business data APIs when you need structured, SIC-code-enriched, status-derived UK company data with a simple per-call pricing model.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid company number format (non-alphanumeric, longer than 8 characters, whitespace-only) returns INVALID_INPUT error before any payment
- Company number not found in Companies House register returns a not-found error
- Dissolved or non-existent companies may return limited or empty data
- Network or upstream Companies House API unavailability may cause timeout or service errors

## How this service works

Return the core registered profile of a UK company from the Companies House register: name, status with derived is_active and is_striking_off, type, jurisdiction, incorporation and cessation dates, SIC codes with their official UK SIC 2007 descriptions, registered office address, previous names, and the accounts and confirmation-statement summary. One call for the standard KYB company record. Use when: You have a UK company number and need the standard registered record.

## Output

Returns a structured record containing the company's official name, active status flags (is_active, is_striking_off), company type, jurisdiction, incorporation and cessation dates, SIC codes with official UK SIC 2007 descriptions, registered office address, list of previous names, and summaries of accounts and confirmation statement filings.
