Home/Filing services

The filings that keep coming

Incorporation is one day. This is the rest of the company's life, and almost all of it has a deadline attached. Each service has its own page: what it is, when it is due, what we do, and what happens if it is not done.

Every filing service, one page each

Identity verification applies to all of it

Companies House requires directors and people with significant control to have a verified identity, and an authorised corporate service provider can carry that out. Where our ACSP registration applies we say so with the reference — it is in the footer of every page here, and it must be completed before launch rather than implied.

Enquire

Something due, or something missed?

A late confirmation statement, an officer who never resigned properly, shares issued but never filed — these are ordinary, and they are fixable. Tell us what the register currently says.

Filing enquiry

Tell us what you are trying to do and we will reply with what is involved. No obligation, and we will say so plainly if what you need is not something we do.

Permanent once registered — it cannot be moved later.
We use what you send to reply to you, and we keep it for as long as we need to. See the privacy notice.

Start with the name.

Run it through the checker — statutory rules first, then the Companies House register — and we will tell you plainly what stands in the way. Nothing to pay to find out.
