P&L is possible to purchase in many other jurisdictions too, including the UK. It's also borderline irrelevant if the theoretical valuation of your startup is based on something which becomes a revenue stream in future (SaaS revenue, enterprise contracts, coin value appreciation). Obviously some startups have more plausible arguments about the magnitude of future revenue streams not based on past performance than others


I was not aware of that. I have tried to find (and even purchase) revenue information for private companies in the USA, with no success (reached as far as SEC filings, but couldn't get detail revenue, P&L info). And I don't trust revenue information on websites like Zoominfo and Owler as they are way off the mark for Indian companies.

Good to know that this is possible for the UK too (I wonder if that is why India Ministry of Corporate Affairs allows this too). As a director in a private company, I always viewed this as a possible privacy violation (that anyone, including bad actors could know my income if they wanted to).
