Companies House is an executive agency of the UK Department for Business and Trade, operating within the government administration sector. It is based in Cardiff, Wales, and maintains the official corporate register with the aim of fostering a transparent, accountable business environment, using its data to inform business and consumer decisions, support growth, and help disrupt economic crime. The organization serves businesses, consumers, and other users who rely on corporate information to make informed choices and verify entities. In March 2024, it announced an urgent review after a government-owned corporate register recorded around 800 erroneous forms filed across 190 companies, raising concerns about a possible fraud scheme targeting banks. This development underscores ongoing efforts to protect the integrity of the register and counter economic crime.
