Press, citations and data requests

Leadistry runs a live mirror of the UK company register and publishes free statistics from it. This page is for anyone quoting those numbers: what you may use, how to credit it, and how to get a custom cut of the data, free, usually the same day.

The UK company formations tracker carries monthly incorporation counts for the last 24 months, split by region, industry section and post town, refreshed with every monthly register snapshot, with the method stated in full and CSVs free to download. As of the 2026-08-01 snapshot: 5,190,464 active UK companies, 776,540 incorporated in the last 12 months. The SIC code library holds per-industry counts and the city pages per-place counts.

Everything on the tracker and the CSVs is free to quote, chart and republish, including commercially, with one condition: credit "Leadistry" with a link to the tracker page. The underlying register data is Crown copyright, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0, and our derived tables carry the same licence. Every figure on the tracker has its own anchor link, so you can cite one number precisely.

Working on a story that needs the public record cut differently: one sector over time, one town against another, formations against closures for a region? We run the full register and can usually turn a custom table around the same working day, free, on the same credit-with-a-link condition. Email hello@leadistry.co.uk with the cut you need and your deadline.
