New Companies House online search tool

As previously mentioned companies house is moving to Gov.co.uk, well they have and have launched a new online search facility called BETA service available via http://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk

So what is available?

It currently allows searches of:

  • Company overviews
  • Document images
  • Company officers
  • Disqualified directors
  • Changes to a company registered office address.

What else can we expect?

Over the forth coming months we can expect the search facility to be extended to include other information such as:

  • Company monitoring
  • Company name availability
  • Overseas data

In order to access certain areas you have to register for the service or sign in.

Can we expect anything else?

We have also heard that eventually annual returns, company accounts and changes to directors, secretary and company details currently filed using the web filling service will have to be filed via the new BETA service and this is expected to happen by the end of 2016.
