Structured PSC data from Companies House.
UK company ownership data shows who owns, controls, or significantly influences a company. The main public source is the Companies House PSC register, which records Persons with Significant Control.
DataLedger structures PSC records into clean, filterable ownership data. Fields include PSC name, year of birth, nationality, country of residence, nature of control, ownership percentage band, voting rights, appointment rights, and whether the PSC is an individual or corporate entity.
Ownership data can be used on its own or combined with structured Companies House financial data, including assets, liabilities, equity, ratios, growth indicators, SIC codes, employee counts, and location data.
