16,513 entities are filed under Company — 43.9% of those that declare it.
37,619 of 45,167 declared · 83.3%. The rest carry no value for this field, so these shares are of the declared set and do not add up to the collection.
What you can do with it
Start from the name — Ask about an organisation or a place and reach the record for it, rather than the first document that happens to mention it.
Read it beside the material — Entities sit next to the collections that refer to them, so a name and the work around it can be read together.
Follow it back — Every record keeps the address it was read from, so what is held about a name can be checked.
Where it stops
It is not a company register and it is not a source of truth about who anyone is. It records what was published, not what is official.
It is not a background check, and it must not be used as one.
