Company turnover UK
Every UK company that has disclosed a turnover above £1m in the previous 12 months.
A licensed file covering company identity, classification, registered address, headcount, turnover and balance-sheet movement — current period against prior period, with growth already calculated. Annual licences include the full database on day one, then a refreshed file every month after. Need a narrower slice — a turnover band, a headcount range, a specific sector? The file scopes to whatever you need.
One record per company, five groups of fields.
Every row ties a company to its identity, its classification, its headcount and its financial position — current period against prior period, with the percentage change already worked out, so growth is visible without a join.

Every company in the file has disclosed a turnover above £1m in the latest filing. Fixed assets, current assets and cash at bank are populated where reported — a blank usually means the figure wasn't disclosed in the filing, or the company is in its first year of accounts. Growth and change columns are only calculated where both periods are reported, and are expressed as decimals (0.19 = +19%). Examples above are illustrative.
Straight to your own S3 prefix — no marketplace layer.
The dataset is built and hosted on AWS, so delivery stays inside AWS rather than routing through a third-party listing. This keeps the file, the schedule, and the access controls entirely within a direct licence between us.
Daily pull
Company filings are pulled from Companies House daily and normalised against the schema — newly filed accounts, updated turnover figures and revised filings are picked up as they land.
Monthly build
On the first business day of each month, the full dataset is compiled into a dated CSV and XLSX export, alongside a checksum manifest for integrity verification.
S3 handoff
Your first delivery is the full database. Files land in a dedicated, encrypted S3 prefix for your account, and every month after, a refreshed full file follows the same way. You're notified automatically, and pull the files via the AWS console, CLI, or a signed URL — whichever suits your setup.
Access model
Either a scoped IAM user/role limited to your own prefix (read-only, least privilege), or 7-day signed URLs if you'd rather not hold AWS credentials at all.
Encryption
Server-side encryption at rest (SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS on request), and TLS in transit for every download.
Versioning
Bucket versioning is enabled — every monthly drop is retained under its own dated folder, nothing is overwritten.
File formats
UTF-8 CSV for pipelines, formatted XLSX for analysts, plus a SHA-256 manifest so you can confirm the file arrived intact.
Notification
An email (or SNS topic, on request) fires the moment a new month's files land in your prefix.
Why not Marketplace
This is a direct annual licence, not a metered listing — no revenue share, no usage metering, and terms set between us rather than a third party.
Daily file feed
For buyers who need same-day visibility on newly disclosed turnover and filing changes rather than waiting for the monthly build, the daily extract itself is available as a separate feed — delivered by email each day as a CSV attachment (gzip-compressed to clear standard inbox limits), scoped to whatever turnover band, headcount range or sector you've agreed. If a recipient's mail server rejects the attachment, we fall back to a signed download link automatically. See pricing below.
Most company data files are 30% graveyard — dissolved businesses, phantom employers, headcounts from three years ago. Staff Data solved that for us. Every record is an active UK company that's genuinely employing, with year-on-year headcount you can actually trust, and the monthly refresh means it stays that way. Being able to scope the file to a specific staff band or sector saves us cleaning and filtering on our end. Straightforward to deal with, and the product does exactly what it says.

Before you ask
Where does the underlying data come from?
Company filings held at Companies House, published under the Open Government Licence. What you're licensing here is the extraction, structuring, and period-on-period calculation layered on top, delivered on a fixed monthly schedule.
Which companies are included?
Companies that have disclosed a turnover above £1m in their latest filing within the previous 12 months. Companies that don't disclose turnover — many small companies file abridged accounts — aren't in the file.
Why do some fields have blanks?
Fixed assets, current assets and cash at bank are populated where reported. A blank usually means the figure wasn't disclosed in that filing, or the company is in its first year of accounts. Growth columns are only calculated where both periods are reported.
Why deliver via S3 instead of AWS Marketplace?
Marketplace suits metered, self-serve products. This is a single annual licence with a fixed monthly file — a scoped S3 prefix gets you the same AWS-native delivery without marketplace fees or listing overhead.
Can we get historical months?
Yes — past monthly snapshots are available outside the standard tier. Get in touch and we'll scope it against what you need.
What happens if a filing is corrected after delivery?
Corrections are picked up in the next daily extract and reflected in the following month's file. Each monthly export is a full snapshot, not an incremental diff, so you always have the complete current picture.
