Company Register 100% open

Northern Ireland


What data is expected?

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.

  • Name of company
  • Company address
  • Unique identifier of the company
  • Register available for entire country

How open is the data?

The submission was reviewed and it was concluded that the data is openly licensed, based on following evidence which states that there is no open licence for the data: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/free_company_data_third_party_in#incoming-557695. However, the evidence also states: "CH places no restriction on how the information is used, but advises all customers to take their own legal advice regarding possible breach of third party copyright." The data counts as available in public domain.
