What Companies House publishes

The registered details. The legal name, the registered office address, the incorporation date, the trading classification and whether the company is active, dormant, in liquidation or dissolved.

The people. Current and former directors and secretaries, with appointment and resignation dates, and the people with significant control, meaning those who ultimately own or control the company.

The filing history. Every document the company has filed, with the date and a link to the document itself.

The charges. Security a lender or a supplier holds over company assets, and whether each one is outstanding or satisfied.

The insolvency history, where there is one.

Turnover and profit, for most companies. A small company can file abridged or filleted accounts, which show a balance sheet and no profit and loss account. That is legal and extremely common, and it is why a buyer cannot tell from the register whether the business makes money.

Customers, contracts, staff, systems, disputes and anything about how the business actually runs. None of that is filed anywhere.

Home addresses of directors, which are held by the registrar and not published.

The register tells a buyer that the company exists, who is behind it and whether the filings are up to date. It cannot tell them whether the business is worth buying.

Everything a buyer needs beyond that has to come from you, and the pack is the place to put it before they ask. A company that answers those questions in a day rather than a month is a company that keeps its price.

snapdue keeps its own copy of the register record so pages load quickly and so it can tell you when something changes. Every registry surface says where the data came from and links back to the company on the register, so you can always check it at the source.
