Trading Signals
Trading Signals is Company Shark’s observational 0–100 score summarising a company’s standing from public records.
By the Company Shark team · Reviewed · Sourced from the official Companies House register
Trading Signals is a Company Shark feature: a single 0–100 score, with supporting sub-scores, that summarises what the public Companies House record suggests about a company’s activity, stability and record-keeping discipline. It is designed to let you read a company at a glance without manually working through its status, filings and history.
It is important to be clear about what it is not. Trading Signals is not a credit score, not a credit reference, and not regulated financial advice. It does not use bank data, payment history or any private information — only the public register. It is an observational summary of public facts, offered as one input to your own judgement, not a verdict.
The score is deterministic and derived only from public records, so it is transparent and repeatable: the same public record produces the same score, and the contributing signals are shown so you can see why a company scored as it did.
Example
A long-established company that files on time, has stable directors and an active status will tend to score highly; a company with overdue accounts and a proposal to strike off will score lower — prompting a closer look before you deal with it.
