The hard part, already done
This is what a single company’s accounts look like when they arrive, and what they look like once we’re finished. The gap between the two is the product.

Typed, consistent columns. One clean row per company per year. A health score attached. Multiply by 5.9 million.
A financial-health grade on every trading company. Included.
Anyone can hand you numbers. We hand you a read on what they mean. Every trading company carries a Financial Health Score— 0 to 100, higher is healthier — computed from its latest filed accounts; dissolved and insolvent companies carry their status instead. It is bundled into every paid dataset at no extra cost — a consistent, ready-made read of each company’s accounts, so you do not have to build one.
Where the grade comes from
It combines four long-established, published models of a company’s financial condition — Altman, Springate, Beneish and Piotroski — and the method is documented in full. Not a black box: a transparent, consistent read of the filed accounts, so you can see exactly what goes into every grade.
It is a backward-looking read of the filed accounts — distinct from our forward-looking Early Warning Score, which is not part of this dataset.
Read the full methodology →What it lets you do
- Screen a whole sector for the strength of its balance sheets in a single column.
- Segment a portfolio, shortlist prospects and sense-check suppliers against one consistent read of their filed accounts.
- Rank and segment thousands of companies instantly, with no model to build.
Each grade is a balance-sheet condition, not a forecast — Excellent is strong solvency and liquidity; Poor is thin or negative equity and stretched liquidity. Every score also carries where it sits in the market: a 91, for example, is healthier than 92.1% of active UK companies. Dissolved and insolvent companies carry their status, not a grade.
Why teams license it instead of building it
Skip building the pipeline
Companies House publishes accounts as raw iXBRL. Turning that into a clean, consistent table is months of specialist work. We have already done it — for the whole country.
Checked, not just scraped
Every figure is range-checked and the records de-duplicated to one clean row per company per accounting period. You inherit the data-quality work, not a dump you have to audit.
Fifteen years of history
Millions of companies come with 5 to 15 years of parsed balance sheets. Trend, trajectory and covenant analysis, ready to load — not a single flat snapshot.
Delivered to your stack
CSV or Parquet, a published schema and data dictionary, checksums on every file, dropped to your bucket or a signed link. It lands in your warehouse, not behind someone else’s login.
What every record looks like
Clean identifiers, the balance-sheet fields, and the health score — one tidy row per company per accounting period.

Illustrative rows — a real sample is one click away.
We tell you exactly what’s filled
This is a balance-sheet dataset — because that’s what UK companies file. Most file small-company accounts with no profit-and-loss by law, so we don’t pretend to have turnover we don’t. Here is the real fill rate, measured across every filing — you see it before you buy.
| Net assets | 96.4% | The headline field |
| Total assets less current liabilities | 76.6% | |
| Current assets | 74.5% | |
| Total equity | 69.4% | |
| Cash at bank | 49.9% | |
| Employee count | 43.2% | |
| Current liabilities | 26.9% |
