It includes the company name, number, category (private limited, partnership), registered address, postcode, industry (SIC code), status (ex: active or liquidation), incorporation date... It is likely that some companies may just lie off Glasgow City Council's boundary.

Context:

The People with significant control (PSC) snapshot is a data snapshot containing the full list of PSC's provided to Companies House. The Prime Minister first put corporate transparency on the international agenda when he chaired the G8 summit in Lough Erne and secured commitment to action, the commitment to enhance corporate transparency in the UK was reaffirmed at London’s International Anti-Corruption Summit in May 2016. Since then the EU and G20 countries have also agreed to act. The UK is the first country in the G20 to create a public register of this kind.

The UK has high standards of business behaviour and corporate governance. The overwhelming majority of UK companies contribute productively to the UK economy, abide by the law and make a valuable contribution to society. But there are exceptions. Some of the features of the company structure which make it good for business also make it attractive to criminals. Companies can be misused to facilitate a range of criminal activities - from money laundering to tax evasion, corruption to terrorist financing. Sometimes those individuals running companies will not conduct themselves in accordance with the high standards we expect in the UK, posing a risk to other companies and consumers alike.

Information about the ownership and control of UK corporate entities will bring benefits for law enforcement, business, civil society and citizens. By making this information publicly available, free of charge, the government is setting a standard that we are persuading other countries to follow.

Content:

A person of significant control is someone that holds more than 25% of shares or voting rights in a company, has the right to appoint or remove the majority of the board of directors or otherwise exercises significant influence or control. This is a snapshot of data in zipped JSON form, as of Aug 23 2017. Daily updated snapshots and streaming API details can be found here. The People with Significant Control (PSC) register includes information about the individuals who own or control companies including their name, month and year of birth, nationality, and details of their interest in the company. From 30 June 2016, UK companies (except listed companies) and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) need to declare this information when issuing their annual confirmation statement to Companies House.

I work with UK company information on a daily basis, and I thought it would be useful to publish a list of all active companies, in a way that could be used for machine learning.

There are 3,838,469 rows in the dataset, one for each active company. Each row, has the company name, date of incorporation and the Standard Industrial Classification Code.

The company list is from the publicly available 1st November 2017 Companies House snapshot.

The SIC code descriptions are from the gov.uk website.

In the file AllCompanies.csv each row is formatted as follows:

• CompanyName - Alpha numberic company name
• IncorporationDate - in British date format, dd/mm/yyyy
• SIC - 5 digits or if not known, None - see separate file for description of each code.

Inspiration

Possible uses for this data is to use ML to suggest a new unique but suitable name for a company based on what other companies of the same SIC are called.

Perhaps analyse how company names have evolved over time.

Using ML, perhaps determine what a typical company name looks like, maybe analyse if company names have got longer or more complicated over time.

I am sure there are many more possible uses for this data in ways, that I cannot imagine.

This is my second go (the first was published a few hours ago) at publishing a dataset on any medium, so any useful tips and hints would be extremely welcome.

A list of businesses located in London showing a range of information including company name, address, postcode, local authority, and SIC code (industry).

The Free Company Data Product is a downloadable data snapshot containing basic company data of live companies on the register. The version available from Companies House has all UK business and is available to download in a series of Zip folders.

The London cut available to download here, was created using a postcode list. Therefore, if there is an error in the postcode, or some other problem caused the postcode listed not to match a London postcode, those business will not be included in the file. Furthermore, inaccuracies in postcodes may mean that no local authority is listed for a company.

Each entry represents a financial accounts submission of either a whole company or part of one. Some businesses have more than one entry in the directory because they need to submit more than one set of accounts for different parts of their business. Therefore, the number of entries in the directory will be greater than the number of businesses.

Note, Large file size - the Excel file is almost 600MB.

Companies House update the latest snapshot within 5 working days of the previous month end. The London file available here was published on 1 May 2018.
