Alethia

Overview

Alethia is an entity-management platform for investment structures, combining records, ownership, documents and compliance workflows. It is best suited to private equity, fund and real-estate investment teams that need controlled approvals around those records. Its strength is the connection between governance data and auditable work; teams seeking payment execution or live payment status should look elsewhere.

Key features

Entity records and ownership

Alethia supports multi-country ownership structures, governance documents and filing-deadline tracking. Structure charts draw from entity and ownership records and export to PDF, PowerPoint and Excel, giving teams a practical way to share a current structure without rebuilding it for each report. CSV import covers entities and key fields, which can help move an existing register into the system.

Deal, funds flow and KYC

The deal pipeline tracks six stages and can create a draft holding entity at Heads of Terms, linking deal progress to entity setup. The Foundation funds-flow workflow checks that sources and uses reconcile, then requires approval by someone other than the preparer before release. For incoming KYC requests, the system breaks requests into requirements and proposes answers with their sources identified; a person must approve each answer. These are useful controls for teams that need review steps, though they do not replace human accountability.

Mandates, security and AI

Alethia records bank accounts, signatories and mandate controls, but it neither moves money nor provides live payment visibility. Two-factor authentication is required for every user on every plan, and material changes enter an append-only audit trail. AI can propose answers or drafts for human approval; workspace data is not used to train third-party models or sent to translation tooling. Alethia does not yet hold a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certificate, a meaningful consideration for buyers whose security policies require either certification.

Integrations and hosting

Enterprise adds Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID directory sign-in, SCIM provisioning, API keys, webhooks and integrations. Its REST API allows 1,000 requests per key per 15 minutes; properties and fund commitments are read-only through the API, limiting write-based automation for those records. Database records and uploaded files are stored in Google Cloud’s London region (europe-west2), and application servers run in Vercel’s London region (lhr1).

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, is free forever and caps management at five entities. It is a sensible way to assess a small register, but its entity ceiling makes it a limited operating plan for investment structures with multiple vehicles.

Registry costs £1,000/mo (annual), billed £12,000 billed yearly, with a 12-month commitment and prices excluding VAT. It includes 100 active managed entities, then charges £10/month for each additional entity. This is the priced paid option for teams that need more than the Free cap and can work without the higher-tier features.

Governance and Enterprise have custom pricing, each with a 12-month commitment, prices excluding VAT and 100 active managed entities included. Additional entities cost £12.50/month on Governance and £15/month on Enterprise. Governance and Enterprise add dedicated onboarding; Enterprise also supplies the directory sign-in, provisioning and integration capabilities. Every plan includes onboarding, help moving an existing register and email support. There is no free trial, so the permanent Free plan is the available route to assess the product before a paid commitment.

Platforms

Alethia runs on web and offers an API. Two-factor authentication applies across all plans; the expanded API and integration set is Enterprise-only.

Who it's for

The product is aimed at private equity firms, real-estate investment managers, fund managers and corporate services, finance, legal and compliance teams. It is a stronger fit for teams coordinating entity data and approvals than for organizations whose central need is payment operations or a certified security posture.

Pros and cons

Pro: Structure charts are generated from maintained entity and ownership records and export to three common formats, reducing duplicate presentation work.

Pro: Funds-flow release and KYC answers have explicit approval steps, while material changes are preserved in an append-only audit trail.

Pro: Two-factor authentication is required for all users on every plan.

Con: Free is capped at five entities, while paid plans carry a 12-month commitment and exclude VAT.

Con: Bank mandate records do not provide payment execution or live payment visibility.

Con: No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certificate is held yet, which may rule it out for buyers with those requirements.

Con: The Enterprise API has a per-key rate limit, and properties and fund commitments are read-only through it.

Alternatives

Legal Entity Management Software is a useful category starting point for comparing other products in this field.

Choose Group Vision Web if native Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows or self-hosted options matter; its SaaS option uses an annual subscription, with price not stated. TaxCalc is an alternative for tax-return work, with a 2026 Individual 6 annual purchase at 42.00 GBP for six returns for the 2025–26 tax year. Inform Direct may suit smaller company registers: its free standard functionality covers up to 10 companies, with chargeable transactions paid separately.

Diligent Audit is a paid alternative with web, API, Android and iOS platforms and pricing by request. EntityFlo offers a free first entity with full feature access and has a web platform. GlobalBoards is a paid option with iOS and web platforms. Computershare BoardWorks is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, web and Windows support; its subscription includes all modules and unlimited committees, with additional users charged. MinuteBox is another paid alternative, available on Android, iOS and web.

Verdict

Alethia is a strong choice for investment teams that want entity ownership, compliance work and approval history kept together, especially when cross-checks and auditability matter. Its approval-led workflows and structure-chart exports are the clearest reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need payments handled or monitored inside the platform, or if your security requirements demand SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
