Companies house changes from the 4th March
/Big news for all Limited companies.
From the 4th March, Companies House, the UK's company registrar, is bringing in changes in respect of an update to the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act. The main change is that all companies will need to have a registered email address.
Why do they need your email address?
There are a few reasons why Companies House wants your email address:
They want to send you important updates and news about your company.
They want to make sure that the people in charge of your company, like the directors and secretaries, are who they say they are.
They want to reduce the risk of fraud.
How do you give them your email address?
If you haven't done it already, you can add your email address to your company's record by going to the Companies House website, signing in to your account and doing it there.
Alternatively, if we complete your confirmation statements for you then we’ll be in touch to get this updated.
The bottom line
The new rule that companies need to have an email address is a good thing. It makes it easier for Companies House to communicate with companies and reduces fraud. So if you haven't already, add your email address to your company's record today or get in touch with us to help you do so!
