Leximetric Coding of Private Companies incorporated in Scotland in October 2009
No full textThis dataset provides details of all company numbers for companies incorporated in Scotland in October 2009. Details of the companies were taken from the public register, https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/, prior to 1 December 2017.
Various fields (including whether a company name was identifiable, the type of form that the company was incorporated under and the type of company) were used to narrow this to private companies incorporated within Scotland in that month. The constitutions of those companies were then downloaded between January 2018 and March 2018 to leximetrically code them across 12 variables: convergence with the default rules were coded 0 whilst divergence was coded 1.
Any amendments to the constitutions between the date of incorporation and 1 December 2017 were also subsequently coded.See "README file - Empirical Company Law" for dataset overview.

UK Companies listed on the London Stock Exchange as at 30 June 2020 by jurisdiction
No full textThis dataset provides details of all UK incorporated companies with equity listed on the London Stock Exchange as at 30 June 2020. Names, market capitalisation, market admitted to and date of admission were taken from LSE data. This data was then cross referenced against the UK Companies House register (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/) to provide each such company with its registered number and jurisdiction of incorporation.
All companies were then cross-referenced against the Association of Investment Companies website (https://www.theaic.co.uk/aic/find-compare-investment-companies). All those not listed on the AIC's website were then examined to identify if any evidence could be identified that their headquarters were outside their jurisdictions of incorporation, with any such jurisdiction being noted.See "README file - UK Listed Companies on LSE as at 30 June 2020" for dataset overview. See "UK Companies listed on LSE as at 30 June 2020" for the dataset

No full textThis workbook contains a list of all of the Scottish companies who had filed certain insolvency related forms (WU15(Scot) or LIQ14(Scot)) between 1 October 2019 and 30 September 2020.We obtained this list of companies through a Freedom of Information Request to Companies House on 14 October 2020, with the list of such companies being received on 22 October 2020. We then accessed the public Companies House database to find out information in respect of such companies (the date of incorporation, the date of entry into insolvency process, and whether they have any secured creditors), and download the pdf. copies of the relevant insolvency related forms. From those pdf. copies, we then took details as to the recoveries on insolvency where available - total assets of the company, total recovered insolvency expenses, total claim of secured creditors, total return to secured creditors, total unsecured creditor claims, total return to unsecured creditors, total preferential creditor claims, total return to preferential creditors, whether there was any return to shareholders, and whether there was any evident prescribed part. We also noted whether insolvency expenses were paid by other creditors, and who the petitioning creditor was (if relevant)
