Companies House Direct and WebCHeck services set to close
Companies House has reiterated that it intends to close its Direct and WebCHeck services, with a formal closure date to be set later in 2022.
A CH press release said: “We’re continuously reviewing our position and will be in touch with users when a closure date has been set for Companies House Direct (CHD) and WebCHeck.
“Find and update company information remains our prime company search function and this is where we’re directing our users.”
It said dissolved company records have been added to Find and update company information. There are more dissolved records available than ever before, with an additional 1.5 million company records uploaded. This information is free and includes the records for all companies dissolved since January 2010.
The government’s response to the Corporate transparency and register reform consultation highlighted the need to balance enhanced corporate transparency with legitimate data privacy concerns.
