ALFA FINANCIAL SOFTWARE HOLDINGS PLC
Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc is a public limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 10713517. It was incorporated on 6 April 2017 as Alfa Financial Software Holdings Limited and re-registered as a public limited company on 4 May 2017. The company’s registered office is at Moor Place, One Fore Street Avenue, London EC2Y 9DT, and Companies House records its status as active, with SIC codes 62012 (business and domestic software development) and 62020 (information technology consultancy activities).
Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc is the ultimate holding company of the Alfa group, which develops and supplies Alfa Systems, a cloud-based software platform used by banks, captive finance houses, leasing companies and independent lenders to manage originations, servicing and collections for automotive, equipment and other asset finance portfolios. The group’s operating business is carried out primarily through its subsidiary Alfa Financial Software Limited, together with international offices supporting customers outside the United Kingdom.
Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc shares have traded on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker ALFA (ISIN GB00BDHXPG30) since the company’s initial public offering in May 2017, when it was admitted at 325 pence per share; it joined the FTSE 250 index in September 2017.
On a consolidated group basis, the company reported revenue of £126.7 million, operating income of £40.1 million and net income of £30.1 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, as set out in its annual report and accounts; these are group-level figures for the Alfa group rather than standalone figures for the holding entity itself. The last accounts were made up to 31 December 2025, and the most recent confirmation statement at Companies House is dated 23 March 2026.
More recently, Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc has continued to develop its core platform, including the 2024 launch of Alfa Systems 6 and, in 2025, an expansion of its Alfa Start product into the European equipment finance market.

Shareholders of Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc
Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, so its major shareholders are identified from disclosures made under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR5) rather than from Companies House filings. The largest disclosed shareholder is CHP Software and Consulting Limited (company number 09674899), a private UK company that held approximately 55% of the issued share capital following a partial disposal of 14.5 million shares (a 4.9% stake, worth GBP 25 million) announced on 30 May 2024, down from just under 59% previously. CHP Software and Consulting Limited was itself the entity recorded at Companies House as controlling Alfa’s principal operating subsidiary before the 2017 listing. Institutional holders disclosed under DTR5 during 2026 include Liontrust Investment Partners LLP, which reported 4.9965% of voting rights (14,918,134 shares) as at 13 July 2026, down from 9.14% previously, and BlackRock, Inc., which notified the company that its holding fell below the 5% disclosure threshold on 8 May 2026 (previously 5.50% of shares and financial instruments combined). DTR5 disclosure covers only shareholders crossing reportable thresholds and does not provide a complete shareholder register.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Company announcements regarding the May 2024 CHP Software and Consulting Limited share sale report that CHP is controlled by Andrew Page, Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc’s Executive Chair and a director since 4 May 2017, and that Andrew Denton, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director since 6 April 2017, holds a minority stake in CHP. As Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc has voting shares admitted to trading on a UK regulated market, it has been exempt since 28 March 2018 from the statutory requirement to obtain and record PSC information on itself, so no PSC is registered against the company directly at Companies House. A precise effective UBO percentage for Andrew Page cannot be calculated because his personal ownership share of CHP Software and Consulting Limited was not located in an official filing; this is reported here as a controlling relationship rather than a calculated UBO percentage.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc is major shareholders only: DTR5 notifications and company announcements identify holders crossing regulatory thresholds, not a complete register, and Companies House PSC data is not applicable because of the listed-company exemption. The disclosures referenced here date between May 2024 and July 2026.

Group Structure
Group structure of Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc
Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc is the ultimate parent company of the Alfa corporate group, confirmed through active persons-with-significant-control filings at Companies House. It directly controls Alfa Financial Software Group Limited (company number 08278888), a private limited holding company incorporated on 2 November 2012 (formerly Oval (2261) Limited and CHP Consulting Group Limited), which Companies House records as 75% or more owned and controlled by Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc since 28 April 2017. Alfa Financial Software Group Limited in turn owns 75% or more of Alfa Financial Software Limited (company number 02482325), incorporated on 16 March 1990, confirmed by Companies House PSC filings as the principal UK operating subsidiary carrying on the group’s software development and IT consultancy activities. Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc’s own majority shareholder is CHP Software and Consulting Limited (company number 09674899), a private company that previously held PSC status over Alfa Financial Software Group Limited before the 2017 listing; this is a shareholding relationship rather than a parent-subsidiary corporate relationship, since Alfa Financial Software Holdings plc itself is exempt from PSC disclosure as a listed issuer rather than being recorded as a subsidiary of CHP. Internal registry data also references an overseas entity, Alfa Financial Software NZ Limited, but this relationship could not be independently verified against an official New Zealand filing and is therefore not included below.
