I can't see Search the register

The Companies House search isn't switched on for you. Type the legal name and company number as the register shows them.

Do I need to record associated employers?

Only if one company controls the other, or the same person or company controls both (what that means). Someone moving between them keeps their continuity of employment (Employment Rights Act 1996, section 218(6)).

It says say why they are associated

Say which of them controls the other, or who controls both, then save.
