The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (the “Act”) has introduced a number of reforms to Companies House in March this year.

One of the Act’s aims is to improve corporate transparency and enhance the role of Companies House. A few of the key changes are a new identity verification process, changes to company confirmation statements and an increase in Companies House fees.
