Company Documents: What’s the date?

purchasing documentsWhen purchasing the annual return (AR01) and annual account (AA) documents from us, you’ll notice that the document description includes a date. For example “AR01 – 14/10/11”. This is the date that the returns (or accounts) were made up to, not the date that they were accepted by Companies House. The accepted date can be found from within the document.

Event History tells you what happened and when

The “Standard Credit” and “Fully Comprehensive” company reports include a feature called “Event History”. This is a timeline that displays significant events in a company’s lifetime such as:

• New appointments
• New accounts filed
• Resignations
• Registered Office change
• New returns filed

Because reports are not live, once purchased the event history remains static.

Sorting your Company Documents

sorting documentsWhen you purchase a company document we’ll pop the doc into the “My Documents” area of your account. If you purchase quite a few documents, you may find your documents page getting cluttered. This is why you can now sort through your documents either by alphabetical order or by the date that the doc was purchased. Simply toggle the arrows next to “Document Name” and “Created” to sort the documents.

My Company Report does not include the Company Status or SIC Code!

company credit checkDon’t worry. There’s nothing wrong with your report. We take the company status information from the annual accounts and the SIC code information from the annual returns. Therefore if the company has not yet filed either of these (not strange for newer companies) this information will be blank.

Shareholder information in the Company Credit Report

Our Fully Comprehensive company report includes shareholder information such as:

• Shareholder name
• Number of shares they hold
• Value of shares they hold
• Share capital

Shareholder information is stored in the “Directors” tab of the report. This information is retrieved from the annual return, therefore if an annual return has not yet been filed the “Shareholders” information will be blank.
