How do I know when my Company Report will expire?

company reportBecause we don’t want company reports to contain outdated information we give them an expiry date. Company credit reports and director reports last for one year from the date of purchase; they are then removed from the account holder’s account. Expiry dates can be found in the “Expires” column when in the “My Company Reports” and “My Director Reports” area.

Company Trackers and Subscription Packages

Yesterday we posted about our two different company tracker services. What we didn’t mention was that as well as being able to buy trackers individually; you can also purchase trackers as part of our subscription packages.

With our subscription packages we will provide you with a set number of credits to be used up within a set period of time. One credit equals one service, including company trackers (standard and lifetime are both available so you might as well use the lifetime!). For more information on our different subscription packages see here:

Zero Turnover in your Company Credit Report

company credit reportIf you purchase company credit reports with us you may notice that the “Turnover” in the “Accounts” area is sometimes zero, even if you know that the company has been trading. This is because of a “Disclosure Threshold” whereby *small companies do not have to file turnover or detailed profit and loss accounts with Companies House.

*A company is deemed to be small if it meets two of the following conditions:

• Annual turnover no more than £6.5 million
• Balance sheet total no more than £3.26 million
• No more than 50 employees

Company Reports: What is Group Structure and how can I find it?

Group structure demonstrates ownership of a group of companies when companies own shares in each other.

This information is provided in our Fully Comprehensive company report (available for £5.45) and can be found in the “Group Structure” tab once the report has been purchased. Please note that if there is no group structure in a company this area of the report will be blank.

There’s no shareholder information in my company report

Our company reports will only include shareholder information once a company has filed annual returns (if returns have been filed the information can be found in the “Directors” area of the report). But fear not, we can still provide shareholder information if you purchase the company’s incorporation documents.
