Companies House introduces Authorised Corporate Service Providers

Under reforms introduced by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, Companies House is implementing a system of Authorised Corporate Service Providers (ACSPs). ACSPs are professional intermediaries such as accountants, lawyers and company formation agents who are authorised to submit information to Companies House on behalf of companies. They will also be responsible for carrying out identity verification checks for company directors and persons with significant control (PSC).

The reform is intended to increase transparency in the UK corporate register and reduce the risk of fraudulent company registrations.
