An empty items list is never the same as "no owner"
An empty items list is never the same as "no owner": ownership_status and the filed PSC statements/exemptions explain why the register discloses none. Returns the persons with significant control (PSCs) for a UK company — the individuals, entities or legal persons that own or control it — each nature of control carrying the register code and its official text, with dates and public identification. The UK statutory beneficial-ownership (UBO) record. Use when: Who owns this UK company?
Paid test badge: not yet. The checks above are free: we call the tool without paying and read the payment request it sends back. The Verified badge needs paid calls whose answers match the promised output, and nobody can buy a badge.
