How does “People, directors and shareholders” work on the Company Structure page?

A person is recorded once — date of birth, address, nationality, tax references — and shared by every appointment they hold, so a director of four companies is one record with four seats. The Directors tab shows the seats by company, by person, as a timeline or as a seat list; the People tab can be narrowed to one company's current board and exports that board to Excel. Shareholdings carry their holder, class, percentage, consideration and effective dates, and the Shareholders tab can show the current register or every holding ever recorded. Companies House publishes no shareholder register, so holdings are entered by hand and the PSC register is used only to cross-check them. Where: Company Structure (/accounts/company-structure).
