RICARDO LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00222915, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 30 June 1927 and lists its registered address as West Sussex, United Kingdom. 5 shareholders are on record for RICARDO 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 22 September 2026.

The largest of these is DFA INVESTMENT TRUST CO-The United Kingdom Small Company Series, holding 13.1% — the largest recorded stake — followed by DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC-DFA Intl Small Cap Value PORT. at 6.8%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Group Structure

Group structure of RICARDO LIMITED

RICARDO LIMITED has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 7 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 6 jurisdictions. 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.

  • RICARDO ITALIA SRL (Italy)
  • Ricardo Plc (Sweden)
  • Ricardo North America Holdings Inc. (United States)
  • Ricardo, LLC (United States)
  • RICARDO INVESTMENTS LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • RICARDO JAPAN K.K. (Japan)
  • E3-MODELLING ANONYMI ETAIREIA (Greece)

Data availability

Those 7 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, United States, Japan, Greece 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. One of the 7 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
