Polaris has a spectroscopic orbit from an extensive series of observations as well as more uncertain astrometric elements. Spectra exposed down to 3200 Å have previously been searched for light from a companion, presumably a hotter main sequence star, but none has been found. In this study IUE low dispersion spectra have been searched for any light from a companion by forming ratios with observations of stars with spectral types similar to Polaris. There is no sign of a companion as early as A7 V. Mass limits are discussed.
