Group Structure

Group structure of SYSTEM1 GROUP PLC

SYSTEM1 GROUP PLC has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 4 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 2 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.

  • System1 Research, Inc. (United States)
  • SYSTEM1 AGENCY LTD (United Kingdom)
  • SYSTEM1 RESEARCH LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • SYSTEM1 AD RATINGS LIMITED (United Kingdom)

Data availability

Those 4 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. Two of the 4 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
