Before you start

Have the key company details ready

For a new company, each proposed director must complete Companies House identity verification and have their personal code available for the incorporation filing. This is separate from the compliance and money-laundering checks we carry out as part of our service.

Director identity verification

Each proposed director needs their Companies House personal code before the new company can be registered. PSCs are also subject to Companies House identity-verification requirements.

Information to have ready

  • Proposed company name and registered email
  • Registered office address
  • Director and shareholder details
  • Ownership and PSC information
  • Company activities and SIC code information
