Done in three simple steps
Message us on WhatsApp or the form with your company name or number. You get one fixed quote in writing — the price above, confirmed before anything starts.
We prepare the filing and send it for your approval. Where Companies House requires identity verification, it's a couple of minutes on your phone — we walk you through it.
Everything is submitted electronically to Companies House or HMRC, and we confirm to you the moment it's accepted — most electronic filings clear the same day.
The new Companies House identity rules
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, directors and people with significant control must now verify their identity with Companies House — mandatory for new appointments since 18 November 2025, and rolling out to existing directors at their next confirmation statement. Verified individuals receive an 11-character Personal Code used on filings, alongside the company's existing 6-character authentication code. It sounds like a lot; in practice it's a few minutes on a phone, and we handle the sequencing as part of every filing we submit.

Company Name Change FAQs
Does my company number change with the name?
No — the number stays with the company for life. The name change is recorded against the same registration, and your filing history carries over intact.
How quickly does the new name take effect?
Standard electronic filings are typically confirmed within a couple of working days; the same-day service does what it says if filed within Companies House hours. The change is legally effective when the new certificate is issued — not when you start using the name.
Can I choose any name I like?
It must be available, not 'same as' an existing name, and clear of the sensitive-words list — terms like 'group', 'holdings', 'chartered' or 'international' can need evidence or approval. We check all of this before filing so nothing bounces.
Is this service really available anywhere in the UK?
Yes — the whole engagement is online, so location is irrelevant. Records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. Same service, same fixed fee, everywhere.
