New UK e-commerce & online retail companies
6,469 new companies in June 2026
Source: Companies House Basic Company Data, 2026-07-01 bulk snapshot.
E-commerce is the single biggest category of new UK company formation. In June 2026, 6,469 companies incorporated under online and non-store retail SIC codes — nearly one in ten of all new UK companies that month. Every one of them is about to need payments, fulfilment, marketing, accounting and software. If you sell to online retailers, this is the earliest possible moment to reach them: the week they register.

Frequently asked questions
How fresh is the data?
Datasets are built from the latest Companies House bulk snapshot (currently 1 July 2026) and every row carries an explicit freshness date, so you always know exactly when it was extracted.
Does it include contact emails or phone numbers?
No, deliberately. Firmfeed sells company-level intelligence only — the pipeline strips any personal-data-shaped fields at ingestion. You get the company facts; how you make contact is up to you and your own compliance process.
Can I get a custom cut — different SIC codes, dates or regions?
Yes. Custom filtered exports (any SIC code, incorporation window or status) are turned around within 48 hours.
