see their free service:

"The WebCHeck service offers a searchable Company Names and Address
Index free of charge which enables you to search for information on
more than 2 million companies. The searches can be carried out on a
company either by using its name or by using its unique company
registration number. In addition to the free company details, you can
also use WebCHeck to view a company's filing history and purchase
copies of document images, as well as a selection of company reports,
all online. Payment is made by credit or debit card and all products
are delivered electronically to a unique, secure download area. You
can also choose to monitor a company, and receive email alerts of any
new documents filed at Companies House."

Not much room is left for ghost companies, or undisclosed "silent
directors" .... such an awfully powerful tool to ascertain genuine
companies existence, status and ownership (read anti-corruption:)
