Companies House recently unveiled a substantial package of reforms that will do more to safeguard the personal data of business owners and ensure the accuracy of the register, effectively offering U.K. companies greater protection from fraud.
The proposed reforms, unveiled by Small Business Minister Kelly Tolhurst on 5 May, “will help increase the accuracy and usefulness of the information available on the companies register, which last year was accessed 6.5 billion times and, as of March 2018, included over four million limited companies,” the U.K government said in a statement.
