Director Compliance Alert - Please do no not Ignore!
As a legal and authorised ACSP with Companies House, I validate clients every single day ensuring all directors/psc's are compliant - It's the law.
To meet statutory requirements, all directors must complete identity verification without delay. Non‑completion may trigger compliance reviews and enforcement measures and even company strike off!
If Companies House strikes off your company, it ceases to exist as a legal entity. You can no longer trade, sell assets, or operate business bank accounts, and any remaining company funds or property automatically transfer to the Crown.
The immediate and long-term consequences of a strike-off include:
Loss of Company Assets
All company assets—including funds in business bank accounts, property, intellectual property, and equipment—pass to the Crown (known as bona vacantia).
