Introducing Seamless SEIS and EIS Onboarding with Companies House Integration
Navigating the twists and turns of SEIS and EIS compliance can feel like wandering a labyrinth. Manual checks, outdated spreadsheets, endless form-filling – it’s time-consuming and error-prone. That’s where a solid Companies House integration comes in. By tapping into the live, official data on every UK limited company, you get fast, reliable verification for startup fundraising. No more paperwork bottlenecks, no more guesswork.
Oriel IPO has built its entire onboarding engine around the Companies House API. We automate company verification, eligibility checks and document retrieval in one slick workflow. The result? Founders get to showcase their ventures faster, investors gain confidence from up-to-the-minute data and advisers spend less time on admin. Discover how Companies House integration is revolutionising investment opportunities in the UK and see the difference for yourself.
Understanding the Companies House API
If you’ve ever poked around the Government’s developer portal, you’ll know the Companies House API is the gold standard for UK company data. It’s an executive agency of the Department for Business and Trade, so the details you pull are official. The API delivers live, real-time records covering everything from incorporation dates to director appointments.
Key Endpoints and Data Types
- Company Profile
Fetch basic info: registered address, status, SIC codes. - Filing History
Gain insights on annual returns, accounts, shareholder resolutions. - Officers & People
Track current and past directors, secretaries, persons with significant control. - Company Charges
See mortgages, debentures and other financial liabilities. - Search & Query
Type in names or numbers and uncover matching records instantly.
Developers also get robust SDKs, sample code in multiple languages and a helpful Developer Forum. This means integration isn’t a guessing game – it’s a guided journey through official docs and community insight.

Ensuring Compliance and Data Accuracy
Companies House holds the legal truth of every UK limited company. By integrating directly, Oriel IPO avoids stale data or transcription errors. Each record fetch is stamped with a timestamp and source, creating an audit trail that stands up to scrutiny. We also layer on periodic reconciliation jobs, so if something shifts at Companies House, we detect it and notify you via the Oriel IPO Hub. Access the Oriel IPO Hub to review verification statuses in one place.
Why Oriel IPO Stands Out in a Competitive Landscape
Other crowdfunding and equity platforms may ask you to upload PDFs or manually enter filings. Oriel IPO’s Companies House integration removes that extra step. While platforms like Seedrs or Crowdcube provide broad investor access, they often rely on manual checks or delayed verification. We deliver:
- A commission-free subscription model
- End-to-end automation using live API data
- Curated, tax-focused deals for serious investors
This combination ensures faster listings, higher trust and more streamlined capital flows.
