Software Filing

The Software Filing service allows transfer and acknowledgement of electronic company data between presenters and Companies House.

The service is open to everyone but will benefit most those who file on a daily or weekly basis. The more documents you file the more appropriate Software Filing is likely to be. Lower volume filers can use the WebFiling service.

To use the Software Filing service you must either purchase suitable software or develop your own.
