Published today, as of the 1 October 2026 refresh. These are counts of official records, not visitor numbers. See every source.

  • Follow a connection

    Search a politician, company or public body and see declared interests, contracts, lobbying and donations side by side.

  • Check the source

    Every link opens the official record it comes from and says how it was matched, including what is missing.

  • Keep it current

    Official registers are refreshed every week, politely and within each publisher's limits, so the records stay up to date.

Recognition, with context

Where your logo appears.

Recognition is kept apart from profiles, graphs and records. This is the strip on the home page today: the founding partner in the middle and open places either side.

Made possible by

The home page strip, as visitors see it now.

  • Home page

    The “Made possible by” strip, shown above.

    Founding partner in the centre. Lead and supporting partners on either side.

    LiveFounding partner

  • Our sponsors page

    A listing with logo, short description and link.

    Every partner, at every tier.

    LiveOpens when a partner is confirmed

  • Selected overview pages

    A small, labelled “supported by” line on pages related to a partner’s field, such as data sources.

    Agreed case by case. Never inside profiles, graphs, search results or records.

    ProposedNot live

Placement and format are agreed before any partnership begins. Impact reports and briefings are discussed individually; they are not live services or guaranteed reach today.

Six-month starting proposals

Three ways to back the work.

These are indicative starting prices for six months, not a checkout or a promise of measured reach. We agree deliverables, availability and terms together before any partnership begins.

Home page placement, impact reporting, briefings and newsletter recognition are proposed benefits, not live services. A supporting or community profile is added only after a partnership is confirmed.

How a partnership works

From first conversation to first logo.

  1. Talk

    Tell us about your organisation. We reply personally to talk about fit.

  2. Agree

    Placement, term, invoice and the funding policy below, written down before anything goes live.

  3. Publish

    Your name appears where we agreed, from an agreed start date, and we tell you where to look.

  4. Review

    At six months we share what the support kept running, and you renew or stop.

Non-negotiable

Support the work. Not the outcome.

Financial support does not give partners control over sources, matching rules, profiles, insights or editorial priorities, and a sponsor’s own public records would be shown exactly like everyone else’s.

What a partner receives

  • Transparent, agreed acknowledgement
  • A link from the sponsor page
  • Updates about the project as agreed

What sponsorship never buys

  • Control over the records or how they are linked
  • Editorial approval or private data
  • Removal, softer wording or favourable placement

No advertising inside records or profiles. No promises about audience size.

Our funding policy

Because we publish who is named in the records, we publish who funds us.

  • We publish every sponsor

    Each partner is listed by name on the sponsors page, with the placements it has and when it started. No anonymous sponsors.

  • We say no to some offers

    Political parties, candidates and members’ offices. Anything tied to changing, hiding or softening a record, or to previewing what we publish. We can end a partnership that breaks these terms.

  • If you are in the records

    Your own entries are shown like everyone else’s. Where your organisation has a profile, your sponsor listing links to it, so readers can check you the way they check anyone.
