Electronic Company Formation Web Filing with Companies House
Filing information with Companies House is an essential part of
running your limited company. Companies House must be notified
of specific information within set deadlines and you have two
ways of doing this.
The traditional
method is to post prescribed forms to the registrar. These forms
can be downloaded from this web site or from Companies House
- Download Companies
House Forms
If you would prefer
to file information with Companies House electronically you
can do this simply by registering for Web Filing. You will require
two codes -
- Personal
Security Code - This is issued by Companies House to users
of the system. The code is emailed to you as soon as you register.
- Authentication Code - This is specific to the limited company.
This code is usually issued to all companies that are formed
electronically and should be supplied by your Company Formation
Agent. If not you can apply for a new code from Companies
House, this will be posted to the registered office address.
(Simple Formations provide this code for all companies registered
with us, it is detailed in your "Letter of Instruction".
We do not have access to codes of companies not registered
on our system.)
