KOMI GROUP LTD
KOMI GROUP LTD is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 09817343, with its registered office at Unit G1 Waulk Mill, 51 Bengal Street, Ancoats, Manchester, England, M4 6LN. The company was incorporated on 9 October 2015, initially under the name SOCIAL ENGAGE LTD, then renamed ITS GONE VIRAL LTD on 17 June 2016 before adopting its current name on 29 May 2020. Companies House records the company as active.
Companies House classifies KOMI GROUP LTD under UK Standard Industrial Classification code 58190, other publishing activities. The company’s own website describes KOMI GROUP LTD as a digital media business that owns and operates a portfolio of digital media brands, supported by a proprietary audience-analytics platform, KOMI Insights, alongside talent-management operations and a content-production arm, ark.media. Press coverage of a November 2022 growth-capital investment reported the group then operating around a dozen digital brands with a combined social following of more than 40 million and generating over 2 billion monthly views, employing more than 80 people at that time; these figures were reported at the time of the investment and were not independently reverified for this profile.
KOMI GROUP LTD is a private company and its shares are not admitted to trading on any stock exchange. It received a growth-capital investment from BGF announced in November 2022, followed by a further £5.5 million investment from BGF announced in July 2024 intended to support North American expansion and further acquisitions within its publishing portfolio. Companies House holds accounts for the small company for the year ended 31 December 2024, filed 30 September 2025; its next accounts, for the period ending 31 December 2025, are due by 30 September 2026. No independently verified turnover or current employee-count figures for the legal entity itself were identified during research.

Shareholders of KOMI GROUP LTD
Company shareholder register data associated with this profile, verified 18 August 2026, records KOMI INVEST LTD as sole holder of 20,400 ordinary £0.01 shares in KOMI GROUP LTD, representing 100% of the issued share capital. Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control register separately names the same entity – recorded there under its former name, ATSL BIDCO LIMITED, since renamed KOMI INVEST LTD – as the company’s active controlling entity, notified 31 October 2022, recorded with “ownership of shares – 75% or more”, “ownership of voting rights – 75% or more” and the right to appoint or remove directors. As a private company with a single disclosed direct shareholder of one share class, the shareholder register appears complete.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
KOMI INVEST LTD (company number 14442102) is not itself independently held: Companies House’s PSC register for that company names KOMI HOLDINGS LTD (company number 14440395, then trading as FUTURE HOLDCO LIMITED), notified 25 October 2022, as holding “ownership of shares – 75% or more” and “ownership of voting rights – 75% or more”. At the top of this chain, KOMI HOLDINGS LTD’s own PSC register names Mr Andrew Trotman, notified 25 October 2022, as holding “ownership of shares – more than 50% but less than 75%” (recorded British nationality, based in England), alongside BGF Investment Management Limited (company number 10608481), notified 31 October 2022, holding “more than 25% but not more than 50%”. Because Companies House discloses these interests only as percentage bands rather than exact figures at each link of the chain, no precise calculated effective ownership percentage can be derived for Mr Trotman’s indirect interest in KOMI GROUP LTD. He is nonetheless the only natural person identified with significant control anywhere in this ownership chain; no PSC filing names an individual directly in relation to KOMI GROUP LTD itself.
Data availability
Classification: Partial. Companies House’s PSC filings verify each link of the ownership chain from KOMI GROUP LTD up to KOMI HOLDINGS LTD with notified dates, but disclose only percentage bands rather than exact holdings, so no single exact UBO percentage is available.
