Protect your company from unauthorised changes and identity misuse.
Form My Company’s Fraud Protection service helps safeguard your business against fraudulent filings and unauthorised activity at Companies House.

With company fraud on the rise, proactive protection is essential—especially for directors, PSCs, and overseas-owned UK companies.


What Is Company Fraud Protection?

Company fraud protection is a set of preventative measures designed to stop third parties from:

  • Appointing or removing directors without consent

  • Changing your registered office address

  • Altering PSC or shareholder details

  • Filing documents using stolen identities

  • Hijacking your company for criminal activity

Fraudulent filings can cause serious financial, legal, and reputational damage if not detected early.


Why Fraud Protection Matters

Without protection in place, Companies House filings can be submitted electronically by anyone with basic company details.

Fraud protection helps you:

  • Reduce the risk of identity theft

  • Prevent unauthorised statutory filings

  • Protect your company’s public record

  • Maintain trust with banks and partners

  • Avoid costly disputes and investigations


What Our Fraud Protection Service Includes

Our Fraud Protection service includes:

  • Review of your company’s current risk exposure

  • Secure protection measures against unauthorised filings

  • Monitoring and alerts for suspicious activity (where applicable)

  • Guidance on director and PSC identity safeguards
