I’m scraping a list of every single UK company that has raised funding in the last 3 years - with details of how much and when - after finding out the info is available but hidden in certain filings on the Companies House website. Let me know if you’d like a copy for free - should be done in the next week or two!

How did you find the hidden information?
It’s on the forms SH01 for new share allotments. Then look for the number allotted and the amount paid (per share), and the total funding is the number allotted multiplied by the amount paid
Ah, of course. Clever! Thank you for sharing.
No problem. Let me know if you'd like a copy of the outputs
Definitely interested!
Great, I’ll send to the email in your profile!
Yes please!
