As your Limited Company grows and time passes, there can be a real number of changes in the operation of your business. Some of these involve more than just the obligation to carry out specific procedures. It may also be necessary to change your details at Companies House.
What changes must be reported to Companies House?
You must inform Companies House about any changes related to:
- the company name,
- the registered office address,
- the accounting reference date,
- PSC (Persons with Significant Control),
- the share structure,
- directors – appointing a new director, resignation of a current director, changes to personal details,
- shareholders – resignation or addition of a new shareholder.
How to report changes to Companies House
To report changes to Companies House regarding your Limited Company, you will need the email address and password used during your initial registration with the Companies House online service. You will also need the authentication code.
If you are using this service for the first time, you will need to register—providing your email address and password, then waiting for Companies House to send you the code.
Updating your information at Companies House is done through a Confirmation Statement. This statement is submitted every 12 months to confirm that your existing company details are accurate. However, if there are changes such as a new director appointment or changes to the registered office address, you can submit a Confirmation Statement earlier to reflect these updates.
Let us handle your Companies House updates
The director of your Limited Company must regularly verify company information and ensure that Companies House is informed of all important changes. Failing to meet this obligation can result in financial penalties, court proceedings, or even the removal of your company from the register.
While you can manage this process yourself, keeping Companies House informed means staying on top of updates and completing Confirmation Statements on your own. This can take time, especially if you lack experience in preparing such documents.
Instead of handling this yourself, you can rely on our assistance. We will take care of notifying Companies House of all changes, prepare the Confirmation Statement, and ensure that all formalities are completed. This way, you save time, reduce stress, and have the peace of mind that your company is in good hands.
