Companies House Forms

Forms – most of us dread having to fill them in! However, Companies House requires that all registered companies in the United Kingdom submit a variety of information on their business activities. The forms are required by law as stated in the Companies Act. The forms required cover a range of information from the notice of a change of a director to information about the particulars of a mortgage or charge.

Companies House forms are free of charge and are available to download at any time. Companies House do have certain fees for submitting some of the forms. There are also time limits and deadlines by which forms have to reach Companies House.
