PREPARED FOR UPCOMING COMPANIES HOUSE CHANGES
As the UK government has passed the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA), which Companies House is now implementing in stages, the filing requirements and processes for UK companies and limited partnerships are evolving. Companies House is also implementing the Authorised Corporate Services Provider (ACSP) remain – Maples Group already meets the ACSP requirements and will be registered as an ACSP on introduction.
Under ECCTA, new identity verification measures will apply to directors of new, existing, or overseas companies, as well as members of limited liability partnerships, general partners of limited partnerships, persons with significant control (PSC) and other persons submitting filings.
Our London-based team of highly experienced professionals possess hands-on experience with UBO filings in the UK, engage in daily interactions with Companies House and have an intimate knowledge of the UK’s regulatory environment and compliance culture, including the PSC Register.
The Maples Group is staying ahead of the curve to ensure our clients will be able to comply with the new measures as they are introduced.
