As of 31st March 2025, there were 6,540,159 appointments for People with Significant Control (PSC) registered at Companies House. This is not the number of unique individuals on the register, but the number of appointments held. Another corporate body can also act as a PSC for another company.

The current figures are provided in the published Companies House official statistics:

Companies register activities: statistical release April 2024 to March 2025 - GOV.UK

Figures up to 31st March 2026 will be published on 25th June 2026.
