How a Companies House PDF
How a Companies House PDF
becomes a tradable signal.
Most data vendors re-license stale extracts. We sit on the Companies House submission stream, parse the iXBRL tags as they land, and run them through 41 stability checks before the filing is even visible on the public register.
We pull every accounts filing the moment Companies House confirms it — typically 14,000–22,000 per day. No re-licensed dumps, no quarterly refresh, no D&B middle-man.
See the raw feedStaff-cost-to-revenue, current ratio, debt-to-equity, cash-to-liabilities, revenue-per-employee. The numbers exist inside the iXBRL tags — most credit bureaus throw them away.
What we extractEach company is benchmarked against its SIC peer group. Threshold crossings, outliers and trend breaks are auto-flagged into the signal taxonomy: Zombie, Ghost Tech, Threshold Crossed, Margin Failing, Rapid Growth.
Signal taxonomyOne JSON endpoint, one daily CSV, or a webhook that fires the moment a tracked entity files. Same signals, same taxonomy, however your stack consumes data.

Avoided write-down
A FTSE-250 retailer wired the Pulse webhook into their vendor-master system. When the staff-cost ratio of a key logistics partner spiked 22% YoY, procurement triggered a dual-source contingency before the public administration filing.

What desks tell us
The signals people
The signals people
actually trade on.
The Zombie filter alone replaced two analysts. We now sweep the £1–10M turnover band every morning before our 9am stand-up — and the broker dependency is gone.
Staff-cost-ratio is the single most under-rated KPI on Companies House. Archive Partners surfaces it cleanly. Nothing else does.
We trade the 24-hour print. Sub-5-minute latency from filing to webhook is the difference between alpha and a press release.

Auditable signals
Every signal links back to the underlying iXBRL tag and the exact filing reference. Compliance-grade by default.
Everything procurement, deal
and risk teams want to know.
How is this different from D&B, Creditsafe or Experian?
Bureaus sell credit scores derived from filings that are weeks or months old. We sell the underlying signals — staff-cost ratio, current-ratio decay, threshold crossings, extracted from iXBRL within minutes of the filing landing on Companies House.
What's an "Archive Partner Signal"?
A named pattern derived from one or more of our 41 stability checks. E.g. "Low Debt / High Cash Zombie", "Crossed £10.2M Threshold Today", "Ghost Tech: Revenue / Headcount", "Rapid Employee Growth". Every signal is auditable back to the source filing.
How do we receive the data?
Three ways: a daily CSV emailed at 06:00 GMT, a JSON REST API, or a webhook that fires the moment a watched entity files. Pick one or all three.
Can we backtest the signals?
Yes. Enterprise customers get a five-year historical archive of every signal-event with point-in-time reconstruction — no look-ahead bias.
Is this compliant with the 2026 UK transparency standard?
Yes. Every record cites the originating Companies House filing reference. Our compliance product also grades partners against the 2026 transparency standard automatically.
