Why Bridge FCA and Companies House Data Now?
Recent legislative reforms and the shift toward mandatory digital filings mean Companies House data is richer and updating faster than ever before. New rules are driving more frequent reporting and a rapidly growing pool of structured governance and financial information — and as this data becomes easier to extract and analyse, its use across compliance, risk management, and commercial analysis is expanding quickly.
Organisations that incorporate these structured governance, financial, and ownership data sources today gain an immediate competitive advantage in risk screening, market analysis, and counterparty due diligence — an advantage that will only grow as reporting coverage continues to expand.
What’s Included in the Dataset?
Every record explicitly includes the firm’s FCA Firm Reference Number (FRN), allowing you to instantly link this directory directly to the FCA Register Extract.
We have extracted, cleaned, and standardized key corporate fields into consistent, analytical data points:
-
Number of Company Officers
A simple indicator of governance structure and organisational scale — smaller advisory firms typically have one or two officers, larger regulated firms have more extensive structures. -
SIC Codes
Standard Industrial Classification codes describing each firm's declared economic activity, letting you group firms by sector. -
Ownership & Ultimate Parent Information
Visibility into corporate groups and structures — identify firms that sit within larger groups versus independent firms. -
Registration Country
The jurisdiction of incorporation — flags the minority of regulated firms incorporated outside the UK. -
Number of Employees
Derived from Companies House filings where available, distinguishing small advisory businesses from larger institutions. -
Net Assets
A simple measure of balance sheet strength and capitalisation. -
Revenue
Includes both firm-reported figures and revenue derived from electronic filings — coverage is expanding as digital filing requirements grow.

Before treating a regulated firm as a counterparty, it helps to understand its corporate structure and financial standing. The directory gives immediate access to governance indicators, company scale, and ownership information to support your due diligence process.
