Fraud Protection Company Formation Package — £9.99/year All-In

Protecting your business from identity theft and unauthorised filings is essential for any director who values their corporate reputation. This package provides an automated watchdog service for your new UK limited company, ensuring Form My Company monitors your official record so you can focus on growth. We act as your first line of defence against corporate hijacking by alerting you the moment a change is registered at Companies House, keeping your Fraud Protection status active and robust.

What the Fraud Protection Service Includes

Real-Time Companies House Email Alerts

Companies House operates on a “good faith” basis, meaning they often process filings first and verify them later, which leaves a window of opportunity for fraudsters. Under the Companies Act 2006, directors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the public register, but manual monitoring is a tedious chore that most business owners forget. This digital alert system links your company’s unique registration number to an active monitoring queue.

By choosing this feature through Form My Company, you receive an immediate notification the second a document is filed against your company name. Whether it is a change of registered office address, the appointment of a new director, or a change in share capital, you will know about it instantly. This allows you to spot suspicious activity before it can be used to open fraudulent bank accounts or order goods in your company’s name, acting as a vital Company Secretarial safety net.

Unauthorised Filing Prevention

Identity theft is not limited to individuals; “corporate identity theft” involves criminals filing a change of company secretary or director to gain control over an organisation’s legal standing. Once they have control of the public record, they can divert mail or legally bind your business to high-value contracts without your knowledge. This service acts as a tripwire, ensuring that no filing goes unnoticed by the true owners of the business.

What you actually receive is the peace of mind that comes from knowing your official record is under constant surveillance. If an unauthorised person attempts to hijack your brand, you have the evidence and the early warning needed to contact the Companies House fraud team and the police immediately. It solves the problem of “invisible” fraud, giving you the power to react within minutes rather than discovering a disaster months later when you file a confirmation statement.

Is the Fraud Protection Service Right for You?

This package is designed for the vigilant business owner who understands that a UK limited company is a valuable legal asset. You might be a consultant working with high-profile clients, or an e-commerce entrepreneur holding significant stock, where any lapse in corporate security could lead to a devastating loss of trust or credit. You want to ensure that your home address remains private, perhaps by using a professional Business Address, so you can keep personal and professional records distinct. If that sounds like you, Form My Company makes it straightforward.

Why Choose Form My Company

15,000+ Companies Registered

Our experience with over 15,000 successful company formations means we understand the nuances of the UK’s regulatory environment better than most. We use this depth of data to refine our filing process, ensuring your application is right the first time to avoid unnecessary delays. High approval rates are not an accident; they are the result of seeing every possible filing scenario over the years.

Companies House Authorised Agent

As a fully authorised agent, Form My Company has a direct electronic link to the registrar, which is far more secure than using third-party software. Unauthorised agents often lack the direct oversight required to manage sensitive corporate data, potentially leaving your filing in a legal limbo. We adhere to strict professional standards, ensuring your formation is handled with the legal weight it deserves.

Transparent Pricing, No Surprises

The £9.99/year fee for protection (plus the standard £100 Companies House fee) is exactly what you will pay at checkout. Many competitors hide “processing fees” or “admin charges” in the final steps of their checkout process to make their initial price look lower. We prefer a blunt, honest approach where the price you see is the price that secures your business.

Your Information Is Safe

We treat your data with the respect required by UK GDPR, employing high-level encryption for every piece of information you share. If Companies House rejects your application for a minor clerical reason, we handle the resubmission at no extra cost to you. Your documents are handled with total confidentiality and are never stored longer than is legally necessary for verification.
