UK People with significant control (PSC) Register and Register of Overseas Entities - BODS version 0.4 (2025-03-11)

The UK People with significant control (PSC) Register was launched in 2016 and contains beneficial ownership details declared for companies registered with Companies House

The UK Register of Overseas Entities was launched in 2022. Overseas entities who want to buy, sell or transfer property or land in the UK, must register with Companies House and explain who their registrable beneficial owners or managing officers are.

The data from both registers is published openly. In order to understand and transform this data, we use it in combination with the Free Company Data Product from Companies House which provides a snapshot containing basic company data for live companies.

You can search information from Companies House for free at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk or learn more about the data products and application programming interfaces (APIs) offered to encourage reuse of its company and beneficial ownership data.

On Github, you can see how Open Ownership has mapped, transformed and republished this data in line with version 0.4 of our Beneficial Ownership Data Standard.

We have also published a data use guide that details the key modeling decisions made during the mapping process and provides field-level mapping information to support data use and analysis.

These mappings are currently a work in progress and should be treated with caution. This dataset is published under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication licence.
