Access, view and download filed documents

What are filed documents?

Filed documents are documents relating to how a company is managed and how it performs. These documents are managed and maintained by Companies House.

Companies House is a UK government department within the Department for Business, Skills and Innovation that is responsible for not only the incorporation and dissolving of any UK LLP (limited liability partnerships) and limited companies but to uphold a level of transparency of these companies. ‘Filed documents’ is the term used when registered companies submit documentation relating to the running of their organisation to Companies House. These documents include incorporation documents, company name changes, registered offices and trading addresses, annual returns (a document detailing company information on the anniversary of its incorporation and will detail financial performance which include assets, turnover, profit and loss), directors’ appointments and resignations, capital documents as well as any mortgages and charges pertaining to that company.

Can anyone access my filed documents?

Yes. Companies House must make all documentation relating to a UK registered company available publicly. Most companies will use this information to execute due diligence on another company prior to entering into a business relationship.
