1. Companies House

   Companies House is the executive agency of the British Government that maintains the register of companies, employs the company registrars and is responsible for incorporating all forms of companies in the United Kingdom.Prior to 1844, no central company register existed and companies could only be incorporated through letters patent and legislation. At the time, view incorporated companies existed; only about 100 companies were incorporated between 1801 and 1844. The Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 created a centralized register of companies, enabled companies to be incorporated by registration and established the office of the registrar; the Joint Stock Companies Act 1856 mandated separate registrars for each of the three UK jurisdictions. Initially just a brand, Companies House became an official executive agency in 1988. All public limited, private limited, private unlimited, chartered and some other companies are incorporated and registered with Companies House. The agency also registers limited partnerships, while most other enterprises fall under the purview of the Financial Conduct Authority. All limited companies (including subsidiary, small and inactive) must file annual financial statements with Companies House, all of which are public records. The agency is also responsible for dissolving companies. Since 2016, Companies House operates under the authority of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The current chief executive is Louise Smyth, who also serves as registrar for England and Wales. The agency, as well as British company law in general, are governed by the Companies Act 2006.
