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 JSON object with the company's current registration status (e.g. 'active', 'dissolved'), a boolean is_active flag, the official company name, company number, whether it is in the process of being struck off, date of cessation if applicable, and any status detail — sourced live from Companies House.
Example use cases
Pre-contract vendor due diligence
“Before we sign this supplier contract, can you confirm that company number 04567890 is still active and hasn't been dissolved or struck off at Companies House?”
Investment target status check
“We're considering investing in a UK firm — their company number is 01234567. Can you check if they're still a live registered company or if they've ceased trading?”
Automated onboarding KYB check
“As part of onboarding this new business client, check whether UK company number 09876543 is currently active and not in the process of being struck off.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.eckari.com/v1/companies/uk/%7Bcompany_number%7D/status?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, live, single-field status check on a UK company by its Companies House number — ideal for KYB/due diligence flows, contract pre-checks, or onboarding automation. Prefer this over scraping Companies House directly or using a broader company profile endpoint when you only need active/dissolved status.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent company number returns an error or empty data
- Company number for a non-UK entity will not be found
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if account funds are insufficient
- Temporary Companies House API unavailability causing upstream errors
