Watch your company’s back with a company tracker

Company Credit ReportsNot only are company trackers great for monitoring your competition (we email you when they file something with Companies House), they’re pretty handy when it comes to protecting your own company from fraudulent activity.

How?

Unless your company is signed up for PROOF (this means that Companies House will stop accepting paper forms for your company), all it takes for someone to illegitimately file a document on your company’s behalf is to complete the relevant form and sign it.

Companies House accept documents “on good faith”, therefore if the form has been completed correctly, Companies House are likely to accept it. This means someone could appoint themselves as a director of your company, resign a current appointment or even request a dissolution. Continue reading

Using Company Credit Reports to find out what a company does

Now we know what you’re going to say; “If I want to know what a company does, I’ll just google it”. And that’s fair; however, believe it or not, not all companies have a website. So, for such instances, here’s how you can find what industry a company operates in using a Company Credit Report or Company Document.

When a company files an annual return, it needs to select an SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) code. This is a 5 digit code that classifies the industry that the company works in. Here are some examples:

01450: Raising of sheep and goats
30110: Building of ships and floating structures
37000: Sewerage
90030: Artistic creation
99990: Dormant company

A full list of these codes can be found here: SIC codes

If a company has filed an annual return, you can view the code that they have selected in all of our Company Credit Reports. Alternatively you can purchase the annual return Company Document.

Please note that this method only works for companies that have filed an annual return.
