Companies House
The UK government registrar where companies are incorporated and file public records.
Companies House registers all UK companies and holds public filings including incorporation details, directors, shareholders (via confirmation statements), and annual accounts. Investors check it during due diligence, so keeping filings accurate and up to date matters.
Examples
A founder files incorporation documents with Companies House for £50. — An investor reviews a company’s filing history before investing.
