According to reports by The Register, the UK's official registrar of businesses and organizations, Companies House, lists an active company named Emerdata Limited as being headquartered at the same offices as SCL Elections and run by much of the same management and investors as Cambridge Analytica. It even describes itself as a "data processing, hosting and related activities" organization.
