Can anyone advise on where I can do company searches and get annual account info from, credit ratings/recommendations etc?

Obviously all this is available via Companies House Website, however any other web sites worth a look?

Preferably free! However I don't mind paying a small subscription or charge.

I do business with a few companies some of which are a bit flaky!

Always use Companies House - source of most info - cheap enough to download last filed accounts.

I use creditsafeuk.com and find them very good just don't pay what they ask always beat them up with a big stick. If you want a copy of a report let me know and ill send you one.

You can download all Companies House documents, annual accounts, etc from the Companies House website WebCheck service. Documents are only £1 a time compared with the usual £6+ from an umbrella company

If you can hang on till monday I'll get a recommendation of someone that provides decent info but you need to keep an eye on.
We did searches on some companies, and the search co updated their data and decided to charge us for it.
Data not requested or used, and update fees not in the contract, but they still invoiced us.
Needless to say it hasn't been paid and we're awaiting a credit note.

Aside from that they're pretty good though.
