Where the data comes from
Each record is taken from the regulator's own register or gazette. Law firm write-ups help us find things. We don't cite them as the source.

Change log
What has moved.
Registers change without notice. We record what changed and when we saw it.
The log starts with this record.
Method
How this is put together.
How often we check
Every register is re-checked weekly. Each record shows the date we last saw it, so you can tell how fresh it is.
Licences, not companies
Other maps list who works in the sector. This lists who holds a licence, which is the part that tells you what a firm can legally do.
When sources disagree
That happens during transitions. We show both readings and say which one is better supported, rather than picking one quietly.
What we could not confirm
Some registers only work by search, with nothing to download. Records we took from open data instead are marked unconfirmed in the table.
Corrections
If something about your firm is wrong or missing, tell us and we'll fix it and date the change.
