List of registered (limited liability) companies. The submissions in this data category do not need to include detailed financial data such as balance sheet, etc. Open data from company registers may be used for many ends: e.g. enabling customers and businesses to see with whom they deal, or to see where a company has registered offices. This definition draws on the work of OpenCorporates.

Your submission is valid. Thank you very much for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.

The Company Register contains company names and identification numbers in .CSV format but not addresses, though occasionally a location may be provided. In both cases, the dataset is downloadable at once, it is updated on a monthly basis and is available for free under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia license.
