FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How current is the data?

Pre-built datasets are refreshed monthly with the latest Companies House filings. Custom datasets are built at the time of your request using data processed up to 24 hours before delivery.

Can I see what's included before I buy?

Yes. Free sample files are available on the packages page for each pre-built dataset. Each sample includes example companies with all column headers so you can review the structure and field coverage before purchasing.

Do all companies have turnover and profit data?

No. Most UK SMEs file abbreviated accounts without income statement disclosure. Every company includes balance sheet data (Current Total Assets, Current Total Liabilities, Current Equity) which provides reliable insight into financial position and year-on-year change. The Current Turnover Revenue and Current Profit Or Loss columns will be blank where not disclosed.

What is PSC data and why is it useful?

PSC stands for People with Significant Control. Every UK company is legally required to register individuals who own or control more than 25% of shares or voting rights with Companies House. DataLedger combines this ownership data with the financial profile in a single export - so you can see both how a company performs and who controls it. Particularly useful for M&A due diligence, KYC compliance, credit risk, and sales prospecting where knowing the decision-maker matters. Available now on custom datasets from £395.

Can I filter the data further once I receive it?

Yes. Excel format lets you filter and sort by any column. Filter by Assets Growth Rate %, Current Debt To Equity Ratio, Average Number Of Employees, Local Authority, PSC Nationality, or any other field after delivery.

What if I need different criteria to the pre-built datasets?

Request a custom dataset. We can filter by any combination of criteria across almost 3 million UK companies with electronic financial data. Send your requirements to contact@dataledger.uk and we will confirm what's available and deliver within 24-48 hours.

Is the data GDPR compliant?

Yes. All financial data is sourced from public Companies House records. PSC data is also sourced from the public Companies House PSC register. DataLedger has completed a full Legitimate Interests Assessment and DPIA for PSC data processing. Full details at dataledger.uk/privacy.

Can I share the data with my team?

Yes. The commercial use licence allows use within your organisation, sharing with colleagues, and integration into your tools and products.

What about companies that file on paper?

DataLedger processes electronically submitted accounts only. Electronic filing covers the majority of UK SMEs, growth companies, and digitally native businesses. Companies filing paper accounts only are not included.

I need regular updates rather than a one-off export - what should I do?

The API is designed for ongoing and automated access. Real-time access to almost 3 million UK companies with advanced filtering and JSON output. Monthly plans from £10/month with 25 free credits on signup. See dataledger.uk/dl-api.
