Companies House can now remove companies

Following changes under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, Companies House now has real powers to influence businesses. The registrar can not only accept filings but also check them, reject suspicious submissions, and remove companies from the register (strike off).

This means that any inaccuracies, false information, or violations can have serious consequences — up to losing the company entirely. This especially affects directors, ownership structures, and submitted filings.

If you are unsure whether your company fully complies with these requirements, contact us. We can help review your data and mitigate risks.
