How to Read Annual Report of Any Private Company in Europe & Australia | My First Million Podcast

About this video

Sam and Shaan discuss how publicly available company financial data in countries like the UK and Australia can be a business opportunity. They explore how entrepreneurs can build user-friendly interfaces on top of government databases (like the UK’s Companies House or Australia’s ASIC) to aggregate, search, and present private company information, similar to how Import Genius did with customs data.

Key takeaways

• Many countries require private companies above certain revenue thresholds to file public financial reports, creating accessible data about dividends, revenue, and founder salaries
• Sam discovered a successful UK business called Dude Diligence that aggregates and makes searchable the Companies House data, showing how a simple interface layer on public data can be valuable
• Building a consumer-friendly search and presentation layer on top of existing government databases (similar to Import Genius with customs data) can be a straightforward, defensible business model
