# NicheVault UK Care Homes — Free Sample Dataset

15 active UK companies registered under SIC 87100 — Residential nursing care facilities — collected from Companies House.

This public sample lets you inspect the formatting, provenance and exact 14-column schema used in the paid NicheVault dataset.

## Dataset contents

- 15 company records
- Active on the Companies House register at time of collection. Some records may carry an additional status qualifier, shown in `status_detail`, such as `active-proposal-to-strike-off` — This means a strike-off process has been proposed while the company remains listed as active; users should inspect the linked Companies House record for the current position.
- 14-column CSV
- Direct Companies House source URL for every record
- Collection date included

## Schema

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `business_name` | Registered company name |
| `company_number` | Official Companies House registration number |
| `sic_code` | Standard Industrial Classification code |
| `postcode` | Registered-office postcode |
| `town` | Registered-office town/locality when supplied |
| `county` | Registered-office county/region when supplied |
| `address_line_1` | Registered-office address line 1 |

| `pulled_on` | Date the record was collected from Companies House |

`status_detail` is retained for schema consistency and may be blank when Companies House supplies no additional status information.

## Methodology

Records were selected from Companies House using SIC 87100 and filtered for active company status at the time of collection. Companies with liquidation, administration, dissolution, or receivership indicators were excluded. The sample is spread alphabetically across the full dataset.

## Important limitations

- Companies House registration does not establish any professional regulator authorization.
- SIC classification does not guarantee that the company currently operates in the named sector.
- Registered offices may differ from trading locations.
- Status and address information can change after collection.
- No emails, phone numbers, websites, directors, or named contacts are included.
- `status_detail` may be blank where no additional status was supplied.

## Commercial use

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This dataset is free to use for commercial purposes, research, and analysis.

## Who it's for
