From launching identity verification to disrupting economic crime, we're making progress on our mission to become the trusted guardian of corporate transparency.

The work we do over the next year, set out in our business plan for 2026 to 2027, will mean we continue to play a vital role in strengthening trust in the UK business environment and supporting economic growth.

Our Chief Executive, Andy King, has shared his thoughts on what we've achieved and what's to come over the next year and beyond: https://companieshouse.blog.gov.uk/2026/05/20/companies-house-business-plan-our-commitment-to-improving-customer-experience/

We’re teaming up with the Intellectual Property Office UK to warn about misleading requests for payments. ⚠️

These invoices request payment at a highly inflated price for services available for a much lower fee – or free of charge – directly from the legitimate sources: Companies House, IP attorneys, or the IPO.

If you're unsure about a letter or email you’ve received, make sure to verify it before making any payment.

❗ If you choose to use a third party to represent your company, you may need to pay for their services. These can be legitimate businesses offering separate services to those provided directly by Companies House and IPO.
