13,708 live companies name Tyne and Wear as the county of their registered office in the Companies House snapshot dated 1 November 2026. 936 were incorporated in the last 12 months and 977 have an accounts due date that had passed.

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.
