Where you start

The job is always the same: find the companies you need.

What differs is the situation you start from. Find yours.

Sourcing companies to approach

When I am looking for companies to approach, I want a shortlist I can trust, so I can start conversations sooner.

What gets in the way
  • Hours of manual research
  • Accounts that all look different
With DataLedger
  • Owner, owner age, growth and group structure in one table
  • Pay for the list you need, from £295

Usually: a spreadsheet

Researching with AI

When I use AI to research companies, I want answers I can check, so I can rely on them.

What gets in the way
  • AI that guesses about companies
  • Data projects that take months
With DataLedger
  • Plain-English answers tied to filed records
  • Working in days, not months

Usually: ask your AI, or a spreadsheet for your AI

Building it into my own tools or data

When a user looks up a company in my product, I want its full profile back, so I can show who owns it and what sits beneath it.

What gets in the way
  • Stitching filings together yourself
  • Ownership chains that stop at the first owner
With DataLedger
  • Search by name, then one call for the full profile
  • Ultimate owner and every subsidiary included

Usually: the API, or the full export for your own data

Why AI users choose DataLedger

AI is the interface. DataLedger is the record.

DataLedger makes your AI more useful and more accurate. An AI on its own guesses. Give it real company records and every answer shows where it came from.

AI on its own

Probably a family business, and it looks to be doing well.

No owner. No accounts. No way to check.

AI with DataLedger

Example Holdings Ltd, through its owner aged about 63, owns 75 to 100% of Example Engineering Ltd, which has four subsidiaries. Net assets are growing year on year.

More useful

Your AI can answer the questions it could not before: who owns this company, how old are they, is it growing, and what else sits in the same group.

More accurate

Every answer traces back to a filed record, so you can check it before you rely on it or put it in front of a client.

A real example

Filter the UK register down to the companies that match your criteria, then ask AI to research each one. Because the list comes from filed records, the AI spends its time (and credits) on the right companies instead of guessing which ones to look at.

Questions

Common questions about UK company data

What is DataLedger?

DataLedger is a UK company data platform. It turns Companies House filings into structured financials, ownership records and group structures, so you can find companies by the criteria that matter and receive them as a custom spreadsheet, through an API, through an MCP server for AI agents, or as a full export.

How do I find UK companies by owner and financial criteria?

DataLedger combines Companies House financials with persons with significant control records. You can filter by industry, location, company size, owner type, approximate owner age and measures such as net assets, growth, debt and cash, then receive the shortlist as a spreadsheet, through the API or by asking an AI agent.

How do I find UK companies where the owner is nearing retirement?

Filter for companies with an individual owner in a given age range, then add financial criteria such as net assets and growth. DataLedger records the approximate age of each person with significant control, so you can build a shortlist of owner-managed companies by owner age.

Can I see a company's ultimate owner and all its subsidiaries?

Yes. DataLedger follows the registered ownership chain up through parent companies to the ultimate owner, and lists the companies beneath a company too. Where the register ends at a trust or an overseas entity, the chain stops there and the record says so.

Can I search for a company by name and get its full profile into my own product?

Yes. The API has a search endpoint that finds companies by name, and a company endpoint that returns the full profile in one call: accounts, owners, parent companies and subsidiaries. A search costs 1 credit, and a profile starts at 1 credit with extra credits for financials, owners, parents and children.

Can I get UK company data into Excel or my CRM?

Yes. A custom dataset is delivered as an Excel or CSV file within 24 hours, ready to open in Excel or import into a CRM such as HubSpot or Salesforce. Datasets start at £295 for up to 5,000 companies.

Can I get all UK company data to combine with my own?

Yes. The full export gives you every company and every field we hold under a commercial licence, so you can add your own data and do the filtering yourself. It comes as CSV or JSONL, whichever suits your systems, on files we host. We also provide monthly delta files showing new and changed records alongside the previous values. Accounts are updated daily, and ownership and company profiles monthly. Get in touch and we will scope it with you.

Can I use the list with ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. A spreadsheet from DataLedger can be given straight to an AI tool to build reports or add research. You can also connect an AI agent directly through the DataLedger MCP server, which has been tested with Claude and gives answers tied to filed records.

Is there a Companies House API alternative with financials and ownership?

Yes. The free Companies House API returns raw filings one company at a time. DataLedger is built on the same open data and adds structured financials, ratios and growth, owner type and age, and ownership chains, with filtering across millions of companies.

How much does a custom UK company dataset cost and how long does it take?

Custom datasets start at £295 with financials, or £395 with PSC ownership included, for up to 5,000 companies. Delivery takes 24 hours, under a commercial licence. The API and MCP server are immediate once set up, with 25 free credits to start. After that you can buy one-off credit packs from £5 that never expire, or take a plan from £10 a month.

Where does DataLedger's company data come from?

It is built only from open data sources, principally Companies House filings: electronically filed accounts and the PSC register. Financial figures exist for over 3 million companies that file accounts electronically, out of over 5 million on record. Counts change daily as new filings arrive.

What are the limits of the data?

Financials come from electronically filed accounts. Ownership is as registered at Companies House, and owner age is approximate. Turnover is only available where a company reports it, which can exclude many companies, so searches usually rely on net assets, growth, debt, cash and staff numbers instead.
