NewBusinessMonitor is Closed
If you’ve landed here, you were probably looking for NewBusinessMonitor
(newbusinessmonitor.co.uk) or its later incarnation, CompanyQuery
(companyquery.co.uk). Both are now closed, and the old addresses redirect to
this page.
For a few years I ran these as a hobby business. The original idea was simple: let people search for UK companies within a given radius of a postcode. From there it grew to let you filter by SIC code, by company status — active, dissolved, and so on — and the whole dataset was kept up to date in real time as new companies were registered and existing ones changed. People used it for sales prospecting, for research, and for keeping an eye on particular corners of the market.
I enjoyed building it, and it taught me a lot about working with company data at scale. But it was always a side project, and my attention is needed elsewhere. Rather than let it limp along half-maintained, I’d rather close it cleanly.
So that’s that. Thank you to everyone who used it over the years.
If you need this kind of thing
The product is gone, but the expertise isn’t. If you need custom software built — particularly anything involving UK company data, Companies House, or turning a messy public dataset into something fast and searchable, I may be able to help.
