Oxford Research

Corporate ownership research

Who owns what,
from the official record.

We trace company ownership and control through every layer and across jurisdictions, using original filings from government registries. Every finding names the document it comes from.

Who we are

Researchers of the corporate record.

We read registers, accounts, confirmation statements and regulatory filings, and turn them into clear ownership structures and plain findings that stand up to scrutiny.

What we do

Four disciplines, one standard of evidence.

  1. 01

    Ownership structure mapping

    Group structure charts traced layer by layer, from the parent to every company it holds, with each link sourced to a filing.

  2. 02

    Registry research

    Company profiles, officers, filings and accounts retrieved from official government registries around the world, as original documents.

  3. 03

    Beneficial ownership and control

    The people with significant control behind a company, as declared in registers and filings, and how that has changed over time.

  4. 04

    Research reports

    Written reports on groups and counterparties that set out what the records show, with every fact tied to the document behind it.

Who we work with

Source-first

Every finding names the document it comes from, so it can be checked.

We set out what the records show. We do not speculate or allege.
