02 One directory
Start with an organisation.
See the wider record.
BritDB connects facts only when the evidence is strong. Possible name-only matches stay labelled as possible — never presented as fact.
01
Companies & LLPs
Status, filings, officers, control, charges, insolvency and accounts.
Launch dataset → 02Charities
Three charity regulators, annual returns, activities and finances.
Connected next → 03Public footprint
Contracts, food ratings, permissions, licences and official notices.
Evidence by source → 04Places & sectors
Browse by SIC activity, nation, local authority and postcode district.
Explore the UK →03 Evidence, not a mystery score
A clearer way to assess an organisation.
Each signal answers a concrete question and says when it was checked. BritDB does not collapse unrelated facts into an opaque trust score.

Why this matters
“Not checked” never becomes “no record”. Each source keeps its own timestamp and meaning.
04 Official data coverage
Built source by source.
Visible gap by visible gap.
The launch sequence follows data quality, licensing and matching confidence — not the temptation to promise every register on day one.

England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland kept as distinct official registrations.

From nation to
postcode district.
BritDB will turn registered-office postcodes into consistent ONS geographies. “Registered in” and “located in” stay separate, because an office address is not proof of where a business operates.
