Free director monitoring tool using Companies House data (beta)

1

Hi all

I’ve released a Companies House director monitoring tool that I originally built for my own use. I was using it to track certain directors where the same individual appears with slightly different details, or is issued a new person number across appointments. I couldn’t find anything online that did that.

It’s currently in beta, free to use, at https://convert-ixbrl.co.uk (via the “Monitored Directors” tab). No payment details or email are required to try it, although a verified email address is needed if you want to receive the alert emails.

https://convert-ixbrl.co.uk works with UK Companies House data, including company filings, directors, and accounts, and supports advanced searching and filtering across UK companies. The monitoring tool is one feature built on top of that data.

How it works:

  • Upload a list of UK company numbers

  • Select which directors you want to monitor

  • Individuals are matched across appointments by comparing multiple data points across the Companies House dataset

You’ll receive a daily email if any new appointments or updates are detected.

The tool pulls from both the Companies House IXBRL/XBRL accounts database and the main companies register.

I’ve attached a screenshot from my inbox (names and company numbers anonymised).

Any feedback is welcome, either here or via the website contact form.

thanks for sharing. Is there currently a way to add or update the monitoring list via an API

This is spam, you keep posting this link to promote your product it will be reported, that is not the purpose of this forum

Sorry I don’t believe this is spam as in each post and my blog I have clearly mentioned that I built this product initially as a labour of love and I only post whenever I add a new feature which I think people will find it useful. I mainly love to see the product being used - My last post was probably atleast weeks ago. The paid aspect is only to support the hosting which is not inexpensive.

Quite agree with this - where is the harm / spam in sharing with others?
