Does the company SIC Code change?

When a company files an annual return they need to select a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. This five digit code details what industry the company is in. A company can update its SIC code by filing an annual return, therefore the code can change. All of our company reports provide SIC code information as long as the company has filed an annual return.

What information is included in the Event History?

company searchesOur standard credit and fully comprehensive company reports include a limited company’s “Event History”. This is a series of dates that details significant events in a company’s lifetime. The exact information included depends on the company but the event history would normally include a series of dates and then a short description of what happened on that date. If the event were an appointment or resignation the description would name the individual involved.

The Accounts in my Company Report are old

Limited companies file annual accounts with Companies House quite a few months in arrears to the period that they are covering. Therefore if you have purchased a company report and believe the accounts to be very old, it’s probably because of this. This could also be because the company has simply not filed another set of accounts yet.
