Sources and methodology
Reading
For each company the report selects the filings that carry what it reports, up to 40 a company: insolvency papers, accounts, the latest two confirmation statements and any filed with updates, the latest two annual returns with a shareholder list, strike-off applications, share allotments and changes to share capital, auditors' statements, resolutions and incorporation papers. It reads them in that order of priority, insolvency papers first, across all the companies, as far as the reading bought allows. Other filings, such as officer and address changes, charges and notices, are shown from the register's filing history and not read. The standard reading, one credit, covered every such filing: 6 filings (6 pages).

Text as read from the scanned filing; characters can be misread.
The company and its officers
The company was identified by its registered number; no identity matching was needed. Its officers are those on its Companies House register record. For each natural person with a birth month and year on the register, the disqualified directors register was searched for the name and compared on the month and year of birth: 3 officers searched, 0 with an entry matching both. A name alone is a shared name and is reported as such.
The Gazette
The Gazette's corporate insolvency notices — petitions to wind up a company, and their dismissal — published from 27 September 2020 to 26 September 2026 were checked for each of the 1 companies: none found[3]. Winding-up orders, liquidators and administrators come from the Companies House register. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Computed from the register
The filing deadlines and officer counts in the companies table are arithmetic on dates the register states, by these rules. They are not read from any document.
- Accounts of a private company or LLP are due nine months after the end of the period they cover (Companies Act 2006 s442).
- A confirmation statement is due 14 days after the end of the review period it is made up to (Companies Act 2006 s853A).
- A filing counts as late when the register's filing date is after the deadline computed from its made-up date; filings without a stated made-up date, and amended accounts, are not counted.
- Officer turnover counts every appointment in the company's officer list by its appointment and resignation years; it names no officer.
Limitations
- The Companies House register does not cover sole traders, partnerships other than limited liability partnerships, overseas companies not registered in the UK, court records or credit data.
- Companies House does not verify the information filed with it.
- Some filings were scanned paper documents read by optical character recognition; figures read this way are shown with their recognition confidence.
- The EU's list is the European Commission's file generated on 23 October 2026; designations published in the Official Journal of the EU after it was generated are not in it. Only the information published in the Official Journal of the EU is deemed authentic.
- A designation on the US Treasury's SDN list or the EU's list binds US persons, or business within the EU, under those regimes; it is shown as information, not as a prohibition in UK law.
- The Individual Insolvency Register records personal insolvency and is not searched for a company or its officers.
- The Gazette's personal insolvency notices concern individuals and are not searched for a company or its officers.
- HMRC publishes each deliberate tax defaulter for twelve months only; an entry an earlier report on this subject matched is kept and stated as the list of its month, and the list holds no entry older than that.
- The FCA's Financial Services Register records individuals' approvals and is not searched for a company or its officers.
