Common questions

Can I search a company for free?

Yes. Public company profiles are free to search. Paid plans are for monitoring portfolios, team workflows, alerts and digest emails.

Is the estimated company value the real price of the business?

No. Firmwatch estimates a public-data value range from visible Companies House financial figures such as net assets and working capital. It is a useful research signal, but it is not a sale price, professional valuation, credit score or investment advice.

Is the insolvency risk estimate a credit score?

No. It is a public-data risk estimate based on Companies House accounts, filing patterns and public risk events. Firmwatch is not a credit reference agency and does not use private credit bureau data.

What data does Firmwatch use?

Firmwatch uses public UK company data, including Companies House records, accounts filings and public insolvency or strike-off signals. We turn that source data into readable company profiles and monitoring alerts.

When should I use portfolio monitoring?

Use portfolio monitoring when you need to follow many companies at once, share the work across a team, receive alerts, and avoid checking Companies House record by record.
