Companies in County Durham: 10,031 live UK companies by industry

10,031 live companies name County Durham as the county of their registered office in the Companies House snapshot dated 1 November 2026. 783 were incorporated in the last 12 months and 660 have an accounts due date that had passed. Most registered addresses leave the county blank, so this counts the addresses that name it, not every company in the county; the town and region pages count by postcode.

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. It reads the Companies House free company data every month, and this page is that reading. Ask for the companies you track by industry, place or incorporation date and each new company, strike off proposal or overdue accounts date arrives in your sheet, CRM, Slack or agent.
