Shareholders of AMG GROUP LIMITED
Company shareholder register data associated with this profile, verified 21 September 2026, records a single disclosed shareholder in AMG GROUP LIMITED: Cranew Limited (company number SC422486), holding 1,900,686 Ordinary shares of £0.25 each, representing 100% of that share class, with a nominal paid-up value of £475,171.50. This is consistent with Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control register, which separately records Cranew Limited as holding “ownership of shares – 75% or more” of AMG GROUP LIMITED, notified 3 November 2016. The nominal share value shown reflects the paid-up capital of the holding and should not be read as a market valuation of the company.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
AMG GROUP LIMITED’s own persons-with-significant-control register names only a corporate controller, Cranew Limited, rather than a natural person. Tracing the ownership chain through each entity’s own PSC filings: Cranew Limited is controlled, in the same 75%-or-more band, by Vango Group Limited (SC533191, notified 18 November 2016), which is controlled by Vango Holdings Limited (SC533190, notified 20 April 2016). Vango Holdings Limited’s own PSC register names two corporate controllers, both notified 18 November 2016: Growth Capital Partners LLP (OC340854) and GCP IV GP LLP (OC399996), each holding more than 25% but not more than 50% of voting rights. No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner is disclosed at any level of this chain, and because each link is recorded only within a statutory control band rather than an exact percentage, no combined effective ownership percentage can be calculated.
Data availability
Classification: Full. Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control register verifies AMG GROUP LIMITED’s sole corporate shareholder and the full multi-tier ownership chain above it up to two UK limited liability partnerships; company shareholder register data corroborates the single disclosed shareholding.
