Companies House has announced a significant update to its fees – coming into effect from 1st February 2026. These changes are part of the government’s reforms under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, aimed at strengthening corporate accountability, reducing fraud, and improving data quality across UK businesses.
Whether you’re an individual, startup, or established company, these changes will likely affect you.
At ISA Consortium, we ensure our clients stay ahead of regulatory changes like these with expert advice and proactive support.
