Companies House intelligence, on demand
Wings watches the Companies House live event stream around the clock. That same pipeline powers three things: an instant risk check on any company, a report of who just raised money, and a curated list of every business in a sector and region.
Risk / Red-Flag Check
£15Enter a UK company number, get an instant Green / Amber / Red verdict — overdue accounts, overdue confirmation statements, insolvency history, and live status, pulled straight from Companies House. Delivered as a PDF, ready in under a minute.
- Credit control / new client vetting — before extending payment terms or shipping on credit, confirm a new client isn't already showing overdue accounts, an overdue confirmation statement, or insolvency history.
- Protecting your own invoices — freelancers, agencies and small suppliers can check a prospective client's filing health before signing a contract, cutting the risk of chasing unpaid invoices from a company already in trouble.
- Commercial leasing due diligence — landlords and letting agents can run a quick check on a prospective business tenant before signing a lease.
- Recruiter and candidate vetting — before placing a candidate, especially on a contract where your fee depends on the company staying solvent, confirm the employer isn't showing red flags.
- Supplier / vendor onboarding — before adding a new supplier to an approved vendor list, a fast sanity check that they're not about to go under mid-contract.
Green/Amber/Red rationale included. No CCJ data (Companies House doesn't publish it) — flagged as a v2 enrichment, not a gap we hide.
Funding-Signal Report
£49"Who just raised money" — new share capital and newly-secured charges, filtered by region and/or SIC code. Delivered as a PDF.
- Sales targeting newly-funded companies — a company that just raised equity or secured a loan has fresh budget to spend; software vendors, agencies and consultants can reach out while the money is still uncommitted, a classic high-intent sales trigger.
- Recruiter pre-emption — a funding event is one of the strongest signals a company is about to hire; reach out with candidates before the vacancy is even posted.
- Commercial property / office brokers — newly-funded companies often outgrow their current space; target them early for office moves or expansions.
- Investor deal-sourcing — track funding activity in a specific sector or region to spot momentum, competitor rounds, or companies raising again (a follow-on signal).
- Alternative lenders spotting borrowing activity — see which companies have just secured a charge, and from whom, to identify prospects who may need additional facilities or could be switched from an existing lender.
Enter a region, a SIC code, or both — at least one is required.
SIC Market Map
£199"Every business in a sector and region" — a curated PDF, built from Companies House's advanced search.
- Sales prospecting — build a target list to cold-email or cold-call. A company selling to, say, independent architects can pull "SIC 71111, OX region" and get every real, currently-active architecture firm in Oxfordshire — a ready-made lead list without manually trawling directories.
- Market entry / territory planning — before expanding into a region or vertical, see how crowded it already is: how many businesses exist, how mature they are (incorporation dates), whether it's saturated or under-served.
- Recruitment sourcing — a recruiter targeting a niche (e.g. software developers) can build a target-employer list by sector and location rather than guessing which companies to approach.
- Investment / M&A scouting — a quick way to surface every company in a specific niche and geography as a starting screen for acquisition targets or comparables.
- Local business development — chambers of commerce, trade bodies, or event organizers building a membership or invite list for a sector meetup.
SIC code is required; region narrows it further.
One price sheet, one pipeline — all three pull from the same live Companies House stream Wings has been capturing since day one.
