Corporate intelligence without the manual registry work
SupplySignal maps corporate ownership structures, individual appointment histories and connected entity networks from Companies House data, giving investigators and due diligence professionals a complete picture in minutes rather than days.
What the platform provides for investigations
Corporate ownership mapping
Build a complete picture of the ownership structure behind any UK-registered company. Directors, PSCs, connected entities and the beneficial ownership chain, mapped from public registry data without manual searches.
Individual network tracing
Search any individual by name to surface every Companies House appointment across their full history. Active companies, dissolved entities and historical roles all appear on the same map.
Connection path analysis
Use the Find Path feature to identify the most direct connection between any two entities on the map. Useful for establishing links between individuals and companies that are not immediately apparent.
Sanctions and enforcement flags
Sanctions designations, FCA warning notices and director disqualification orders are applied automatically to every individual and entity on the map. No separate sanctions database search required.
Historical appointment records
Resigned directors and historical appointments remain visible. An individual's full corporate history, including failed businesses and dissolved entities, is part of the picture.
Export and documentation
Maps can be exported and findings documented within SupplySignal for case management purposes. Searches are saved for future reference.
Where investigations teams use SupplySignal
Pre-deal due diligence
Quickly map the ownership and corporate history of an acquisition target or investment subject. Surface connected individuals and entities that may not appear in standard company searches.
Counterparty investigations
Assess the corporate background of a counterparty in a significant commercial transaction. Identify beneficial owners, related companies and individuals with enforcement history.
Litigation support
Map the corporate structures and asset positions of parties to litigation. Trace relationships between individuals and entities for use in legal proceedings.
Regulatory investigations
Provide rapid corporate intelligence to support internal or regulatory investigations. Surface connections that manual registry research would take days to establish.
What manual registry research actually costs
A thorough manual investigation of a complex corporate structure, tracing ownership through multiple entities and searching each director individually, typically takes several hours per subject. For a portfolio of counterparties or a multi-party litigation, that compounds quickly.
SupplySignal maps the same information in minutes, using the same source data, Companies House public records, with sanctions and enforcement overlays applied automatically. The analyst time saved goes into interpretation and judgement, not data retrieval.
