Help Companies House improve its services
Companies House is looking to run short interviews with people who file on behalf of clients and who have accessibility needs.
They’d particularly like to speak with people who have registered, or are thinking of registering, as an ACSP (authorised corporate service provider). Research sessions can be held online or in person.
If interested, you can sign up by emailing userresearch@companieshouse.gov.uk
Members should note that we have a dedicated section within our AML hub that includes guidance on ACSP registration and IDV services.
