What is Companies House?
More than 5 million limited companies are registered in the UK. Over 500,000 new companies are incorporated each year. We drive confidence in the economy by creating a transparent and accountable business environment. Use of our data informs business and consumer decisions, supports growth and helps disrupt economic crime. https://www.gov.uk/government/organis...
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act received royal assent on 26 October 2023. The act gives Companies House the power to play a more significant role in tackling economic crime and supporting economic growth. Over time, the measures will lead to improved transparency and more accurate and trusted information on our registers. Find out what's changing and when.
Company directors tell us what they love about running their own business, and how they manage their legal responsibilities.
