A clearer way to find UK businesses.
Free Business Directory is an independent online directory of UK businesses. It brings official company information and details from business owners together in one readable profile.
Built for businesses, not complexity
Many businesses need a straightforward place to be found online without learning a new system. We keep listings simple: a clear profile, sensible categories and contact details people can use.
Browsing is open to everyone, and businesses can apply for a Free listing.
How a listing is built
Company details
We start with public registry information where it is available, including Companies House data.
Owner details
Business owners add or update descriptions, contact details, services and areas covered.
Published listing
Owner-submitted listings are reviewed before publication. Profiles are organised by category and location so people can find them and check details with the business.
Starting with official company information
Where possible, listings begin with public registry data, including Companies House. This helps give each profile a consistent identity, such as a registered name and company number.
Registry information is not proof of ownership and is not an endorsement. A registered office may also differ from where a business trades.
More than a list of company names
Profiles can include owner-supplied details such as services, areas covered and contact information, alongside information from other permitted sources. Categories and locations help people compare options near them.
Useful knowledge from UK businesses
Our articles section shares practical expertise from UK businesses. Articles are written by UK businesses and go through review before publication. Not every submission is published.
Keeping a listing free
A Free listing lets a business appear in the directory at no cost. We also offer optional paid plans with extra profile, article and promotion features.
Paid plans do not guarantee customers, enquiries, rankings or business results.
Business owners remain in control
Owners can manage their details through their business account. If a listing is yours, you can request a claim, or ask for a correction, and we will review requests subject to applicable checks. A request does not automatically result in ownership being granted.
Accuracy matters
Information may change and may not be independently verified. Please check important details, such as opening hours, prices and credentials, directly with the business.
If something is wrong, you can request a correction where appropriate.
Independent directory
Free Business Directory is an independent commercial directory. We are not Companies House or a government service. Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement, and listings are not vetted, certified or guaranteed by us.
