Three modes

Mode	What it does
`search`	Find companies by name
`lookup`	Check a list of company numbers in bulk; unknown numbers are free
`advanced`	Filter by SIC code, status, incorporation date and location

No personal data

Individual directors, secretaries and people with significant control are never output, only counted. You get company-level facts plus corporate officers and shareholders.
