Research and data releases

What the Companies House register says when you follow every company through to what became of it. Each piece is published here with its chart, its data and a ready-made citation, and stays at the same address. Free to quote with attribution.

The first piece is published on 1 October 2026 with the first monthly Formation Index. Journalists can ask for it under embargo now — see below.

How to cite Salenovo

Any figure on this site may be quoted, reproduced or embedded with attribution. The form we suggest:

Salenovo analysis of Companies House data, <month> — https://www.salenovo.com/research/<piece>/

The underlying data are Companies House and ONS material under the Open Government Licence v3.0; our analysis may be used freely with a link. Each piece has an embed snippet for its chart with the credit built in; each council page has an embeddable weekly card. How the numbers are made, and how well they agree with the ONS: the method page.

For journalists

Salenovo follows every company incorporated in the UK from the day it appears on the register, and publishes what becomes of them. We publish the Formation Index on the first of each month and research pieces as they are ready; pieces with a news line are offered under embargo to the press beforehand.

What we can give you. The release, the chart as a PNG and the data as CSV for any piece; a cut of any figure for a region, a council or a constituency, usually within the day; and a named source for the analysis. What we ask. Attribution to Salenovo with a link, and that the caveats we publish with each piece travel with the numbers.
