Order a document by its shortcut, for example annual_accounts.
Local notes
Gotchas
| Topic | Details |
|---|---|
| 'Strike Off Listed' is not dissolved | "Strike Off Listed" means the CRO has started removing the company for non-compliance (typically a missed annual return) but has not dissolved it. Kausate normalizes it as "closing"; "Struck Off" is "dissolved". Check the normalized status, not raw text containing "strike off". |
| Percentages can sum under 100 | Ownership percentages divide a holder's shares by the total across all holdings in the filing, including unmatched ones omitted from the shareholder list, so they can sum to less than 100%. |
| Multi-class holdings lose capital | With more than one share class (e.g. Ordinary and Preference), no shareholder gets a nominal capital value: annual returns disclose only one aggregate issued-capital figure. |
| Corporate shareholders are name only | A corporate shareholder is returned as a name only. Annual returns record it as free text with no registration number or other identifier. |
| Headcount lives in the accounts | Employee headcount is disclosed only in filed annual accounts, not on the base company report. Request Financials and read the numberOfEmployees field. |
| Abridged accounts omit profit | Smaller companies commonly file abridged small-company accounts with only a balance sheet, so revenue, net profit, and other income-statement fields on Financials may be empty. |
