Where the scores come from
Who trades goods
HMRC publishes every UK importer and exporter each month. We match those names to Companies House records, so you can see who buys or sells abroad, how regularly, and what.
Who owns them
A UK subsidiary of a German or American group sends money home. Companies House ownership records show which companies have overseas parents or owners.
What they do and how big they are
Industry codes flag sectors that live on cross-border trade, and the type of accounts a company files shows roughly how large it is.
Every weight is public and open to challenge. See exactly how scoring works.
