Government data.
One simple connection.

Every government department shares its data differently. GovBridge does the hard part once, so your app can check companies, house prices, food hygiene ratings and MOT history with one key and get answers in one tidy format.

Hi, I am Virendra, founder of GovBridge. We help UK teams check public business information without jumping between different services. Let me show you. I open the customer list checker, search for a company and select the right match using its company number and address. I add companies to my list, review the credit cost and run the checks. GovBridge returns the registered details and company status. A dissolved company is clearly flagged, showing which records need attention. I can expand the details and export a dated report for my team. GovBridge also offers food hygiene, property sale and MOT history lookups. These are public record checks, not credit assessments. HMRC features remain sandbox only. Explore GovBridge at govbridge.co.uk

Examples for scoping a conversation. API coverage, department access and product availability must be confirmed for your use case.

01 / INTERFACE

The same everywhere it can be

Questions, answers and errors work the same way across sources. We add each new source to the docs as it goes live.

02 / RESPONSIBILITY

The rules still apply

GovBridge makes data easier to reach. It doesn’t replace a department’s approval, your right to use the data or your own responsibilities.

03 / READINESS

Check before you rely on it

Before using it for real work, check where it’s hosted, which sources are live, the terms, our security evidence and the support on offer.
