See What You'll Receive: Sample CSV Download

Before you start a trial, you probably want to know what you're actually going to get. Fair enough.

The sample below is a real extract of company data from the UK's Companies House register, the same format, fields, and data quality that LaunchRegister subscribers receive in every digest. Download it, open it in Excel or Google Sheets, and see for yourself.

What the Sample Contains

The file contains a digest's worth of newly incorporated UK limited companies filtered for technology and software businesses across inner London — SIC codes 62011 to 62090, across the E, EC, N, SE, SW, W, and WC postcode areas. Each row is a real company, drawn from official Companies House records.

This is the same output a LaunchRegister subscriber receives: filtered to their chosen SIC codes and postcode areas, formatted with clear column headers, and ready to open.

Column-by-Column Breakdown

Here's what each column in the CSV gives you and why it matters for your workflow:

• order — the position of the company within the digest, ordered by incorporation date. Useful for scanning the list in sequence.
• company_name — the registered name of the limited company. This is what you'll use when writing to the director or looking the company up.
• company_number — the unique eight-digit identifier assigned by Companies House. Useful for looking up the company directly on the register to check further details.
• company_status — the current status of the company on the register, typically "active" for newly incorporated companies.
• company_type — the legal type of the entity, for example "ltd" (private limited company).
• date_of_creation — tells you exactly how recently the company was formed. A company incorporated two days ago is in a very different position to one incorporated three months ago.
• sic_codes — the standard industry classification code(s) the company registered with. A company can list up to four, separated by semicolons. This is how you determine whether the company falls within your target sectors — professional services, construction, technology, and so on.
• registered_office_address_line1, registered_office_address_line2, registered_office_locality, registered_office_post_code, registered_office_region, registered_office_county — the official address filed with Companies House, split across separate columns. This is often (but not always) the company's actual trading location. It's the basis for location-based filtering and outreach decisions.
• companies_house_url — a direct link to the company's public record on the Companies House register. One click takes you to the full filing history, officer list, and confirmation statement status.
• matched_search_profile_ids, matched_search_profile_names — which of your saved Search Profiles this company matched. Useful when you have more than one filter set up and want to know which targeting angle surfaced a particular result.

How This Compares to Raw Companies House Data

Companies House publishes bulk data products that anyone can access. They cover the full register which contains hundreds of thousands of companies, including dormant entities, dissolved companies, and formations from years past.

That data is comprehensive, but it's not designed for a specific workflow. The files are large, the field names are technical, and there's no built-in filtering by SIC code, location, or incorporation date. Turning raw Companies House data into a usable daily or weekly list of newly incorporated companies in your area takes time and technical effort.

LaunchRegister does that work for you. The output is pre-filtered against your saved search profiles, formatted with clear column headers, and delivered as a simple CSV that opens in any spreadsheet application. No data cleaning, no manual filtering and no technical setup.

The sample you're downloading here shows what that finished output looks like.
