RENTOKIL INITIAL (1896) LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00049855, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 26 October 1896 and lists its registered address as Crawley, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for RENTOKIL INITIAL (1896) LIMITED, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 28 October 2026.

Group Structure

RENTOKIL INITIAL (1896) LIMITED sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, RENTOKIL INITIAL PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 7 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. Immediately above RENTOKIL INITIAL (1896) LIMITED is RENTOKIL INITIAL 1927 PLC, holding 100% as filed in RENTOKIL INITIAL (1896) LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. RENTOKIL INITIAL PLC sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 7 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, United States jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Three of the 7 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
