So what is a winding up petition?

Leave a reply

Good question. It is a court action that is placed against a company (if the court action is successful) by someone who is owed money (a creditor). Petitions will be issued to Companies House if it’s decided that the company will be wound up and eventually dissolved.

Now you know!

Director Reports: Search for variations of the Director’s name

Leave a reply

• in 123 Ltd I am Mathew Joseph Aitken
• in XYZ Ltd I am Matthew Aitken (I was appointed by a colleague who was unfamiliar with my parent’s strange spelling) Continue reading →

How often are Company Reports updated?

Leave a reply

A bit of a trick question this week.

Once purchased, our Company Credit Reports are static. Whilst they’re correct at the time of purchase, once in your account they do not change. If a company has made changes after you have purchased the report (you will be notified of such changes with a Company Tracker!), you simply need to purchase another report to see the changes reflected.

How long does it take for changes to be reflected?

It normally takes just a few days for something that has been filed to show up on a company report. Just to reiterate, to see any changes you need to purchase a new report.

Can Company and Director Information be removed from Company Searches Made Simple?

Leave a reply

The information contained within our Company Credit Reports and Director reports is sourced directly from Companies House. Because this information is available to the public, we are unable to remove it from our system or make any amendments to it. We can however remove company and director results from search engines.

For further information please see our Company and Director Listing Policy.
