About the register

Companies House

Companies House is the registrar of companies for the United Kingdom, an executive agency sponsored by the Department for Business and Trade. It incorporates and dissolves limited companies, registers the information companies are required to file, and makes it available to the public through the Find and Update Company Information search service. Each company keeps the same registration number for life: up to eight numerals, or normally a two-letter prefix followed by up to six alphanumeric characters.

A company's public record holds its incorporation documents, its articles of association, the annual confirmation statement (form CS01) confirming that registered details are up to date, share-capital filings such as the SH01 return of allotment, and its annual accounts, which must include a balance sheet and a profit and loss account. The record also identifies people with significant control (PSCs), usually anyone holding more than 25 per cent of shares or voting rights; PSC information is filed at Companies House and published on the register.

The register is being reformed under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency programme: identity verification for directors and PSCs, voluntary from 8 April 2025, became a legal requirement on 18 November 2025. Companies House does not check the accuracy of the information filed; the public record is the company's own filings, registered and published by the agency.

What is a CS01 confirmation statement?
The confirmation statement, form CS01, is filed at least once in every 12-month review period to confirm that the information Companies House holds about a company is up to date. It covers directors and secretary, registered office, people with significant control and, in its additional sections, shareholder information, SIC codes and the statement of capital. A company must file one even if nothing has changed during the review period. The Company Records report for the United Kingdom includes the CS01 among its filing documents.
What is the PSC register in the United Kingdom?
A person with significant control (PSC) is someone who owns or controls a company, usually through more than 25 per cent of its shares or voting rights, the ability to appoint or remove a majority of directors, or other means of influence or control. Companies must identify their PSCs, file the details at Companies House, and report changes within 14 days. PSC information is published on the public register, although individuals at risk can apply to have their details protected from publication.
What format is a UK company registration number?
Companies House allocates the number on registration and it does not change during the company's life. It consists of up to eight numerals, or normally a prefix of two letters followed by up to six alphanumeric characters, depending on where and how the company was registered. The number appears on the certificate of incorporation and on every document in the company's filing history.
Do UK companies have to file accounts at Companies House?
Yes. Statutory accounts, including a balance sheet and a profit and loss account, must be sent to Companies House for each financial year as well as to shareholders and to HMRC, and smaller companies may be eligible to file simplified versions. Filed accounts form part of the public record, and the Company Records report for the United Kingdom lists Accounts among its included filing documents.
