PSC Register Service

Keeping your company’s people with significant control information accurate is an important part of company administration. The PSC Online Register & Confirmation Statement (DIY) package gives you an online system for recording and storing PSC information, together with a Confirmation Statement containing your existing company details pre-filled.

This package is designed for company officers who want to manage their own PSC records and provide any changes through a simple online process. It brings the register and confirmation statement tasks together, helping you keep relevant information organised while retaining responsibility for reviewing and submitting the details.

What is the PSC Online Register and Confirmation Statement package?

A person with significant control, commonly called a PSC, is someone who owns or controls a company. A PSC may have significant share ownership, voting rights or other control over the company. Companies must identify their PSCs, keep appropriate information about them and report the required details to Companies House.

The PSC Online Register & Confirmation Statement (DIY) package provides two connected administrative functions. First, it gives you an online PSC Register for recording and storing your company’s PSC information. Secondly, it provides a Confirmation Statement with your existing company details pre-filled, allowing you to review the information and provide any changes through the online process.

The package is a DIY service. This means the online tools are provided for you to manage the information, but you remain responsible for checking that the details are complete and accurate before taking the required action. If your company has complicated ownership arrangements, overseas entities or changes in control, you may need professional advice before updating your records.

Your PSC information should be treated as an important company record. Changes to ownership, voting rights, control arrangements or the identity of a PSC can affect what your company needs to record and report. Maintaining a clear online record makes it easier to review your position when preparing your Confirmation Statement.

What is included?

Online PSC Register

The package includes an Online PSC Register for recording and storing your company’s PSC information. This gives you a dedicated online place to maintain details relating to the individuals or entities that have significant control over your company.

A PSC register is not simply a list of names. The information recorded may include details about the PSC, the nature of their control and relevant dates. The exact information required depends on the circumstances of the company and the type of PSC involved. Before entering or changing information, you should make sure that the person’s details and control position have been properly considered.

The online register helps you keep your PSC records together rather than relying on scattered documents or informal notes. It can also provide a practical reference when you review your company information for a Confirmation Statement. You can access the service as part of the DIY package and use it to record and store the relevant PSC information.

For wider company administration, you may also wish to consider the separate PSC Register service. That service is relevant when your immediate requirement is maintaining PSC information, whereas this package combines the online register with a pre-filled Confirmation Statement.

Secure online record of PSC information and changes

The package includes a secure online record of PSC information and changes. This allows you to retain a continuing record rather than treating each update as an isolated task.

A change might involve the appointment of a new PSC, the removal of an existing PSC, a change to share ownership or a change in voting rights. It may also involve a change in the nature of control or another detail connected with the PSC record. Recording the change clearly can help you understand what information is current and what has changed over time.

You should review every entry carefully before saving or submitting information. The online record is a management tool, not a substitute for understanding your company’s ownership and control structure. If you are uncertain whether someone qualifies as a PSC, resolve that question before making an update.

The record of changes can also help with internal administration. Where several people are involved in running a company, a clear history can make it easier to identify when information changed and what should be reflected in the company’s official records.

Confirmation Statement with existing company details pre-filled

The package includes a Confirmation Statement with your existing company details pre-filled. This means you can begin with information already included in the company record rather than entering every detail from the beginning.

The pre-filled format is intended to make the review process simpler. You should still check all available details carefully, including information about directors, shareholders, PSCs and other company particulars that appear for confirmation. Pre-filled information should never be assumed to be correct simply because it is already displayed.

A Confirmation Statement is used to confirm that a company’s information is up to date. It is different from annual accounts, and it does not replace the company’s other filing obligations. You should review the company’s filing position separately and make sure that any required accounts, notices or changes are dealt with through the appropriate process.

The package gives you the tools to review the existing details and provide changes. It does not mean that every possible company filing is included. For other administrative requirements, Form My Company provides services such as File a Confirmation Statement, although this package is specifically structured for DIY use.

Simple online process to provide any changes

The package includes a simple online process for providing any changes. After reviewing the pre-filled information, you can identify whether the company’s PSC or other relevant details need updating and then provide the applicable changes through the online system.

A simple process still requires careful preparation. You should gather the relevant information before starting, confirm the details with the people concerned where necessary and consider whether the change affects the company’s PSC position. If the change relates to ownership or control, check the underlying documents and understand how the change should be represented.

The process is most useful when you already understand your company’s position and want an organised way to complete the administrative work yourself. If you need help with several company changes at the same time, you may wish to review the Company Secretarial service for broader administrative support.

Pricing breakdown

The price for this package should be reviewed using the package price shown at the point of purchase. The supplied features do not include a service fee for the PSC Online Register & Confirmation Statement (DIY), so no service-fee figure can be stated here without adding information that has not been provided.

Where a statutory Companies House fee applies to the relevant filing, the statutory fee is £100 under the pricing instruction for this package. The total payable will therefore depend on whether the £100 statutory fee applies to your transaction and on the package’s stated service fee.

Before purchasing, check the displayed price and confirm what is included. In particular, distinguish between Form My Company’s service element and any statutory fee payable to Companies House. The Companies House fees guidance provides official information about Companies House charges, but the applicable charge depends on the filing or service being used.

The DIY structure is relevant to the pricing explanation because the package provides the online register, stored records and pre-filled Confirmation Statement process rather than describing a fully managed filing service. You remain responsible for reviewing the information and completing the required steps.

Staying compliant

A company should keep its PSC information accurate and up to date. The government’s guidance explains that companies must identify their PSCs and register the required PSC statement with Companies House. It also sets out the information that may be required, including the PSC’s name, date of birth, nationality, service address, residential address, date of becoming a PSC and the nature of control. You can review the official people with significant control guidance before using the package.

Pay particular attention to changes in ownership and voting rights. A person may become a PSC because they hold more than the relevant level of shares or voting rights, or because they exercise another form of significant control. The way control is held matters, so do not rely only on a company title or an informal understanding between shareholders.

Your Confirmation Statement should be reviewed as part of the company’s regular administration. Companies must check their records and file at least one Confirmation Statement every 12 months. The official Confirmation Statement guidance explains the purpose of the filing and the types of company information that should be checked.

Identity verification may also be relevant to PSC administration. Current Companies House requirements may require PSCs to verify their identity and provide a personal code. If this applies to your company or PSCs, review the latest official instructions and allow for that requirement when preparing your records.

Who is this package for?

This package is suitable for directors, shareholders and company administrators who want to manage PSC information themselves through an online system. It may be appropriate where the company has a straightforward ownership structure and the person completing the process is comfortable reviewing company records.

It can also suit a company that wants one place to store its PSC information and changes while preparing its Confirmation Statement. The pre-filled company details may reduce repetitive data entry, but the information still needs to be checked before any confirmation or change is provided.

The package may be less suitable where the company has a complicated control structure, corporate PSCs, trusts, disputed ownership, or several changes taking place at once. In those circumstances, the correct treatment may require specialist legal, accounting or company secretarial advice.

It is also important to distinguish this package from a company formation service. If you are setting up a new standard private company, you may want to compare it with the Private limited (Ltd) Company package. The PSC Online Register & Confirmation Statement (DIY) package is focused on ongoing PSC record-keeping and Confirmation Statement administration for an existing company.

What to prepare before using it

Before beginning, collect the information needed to check your company’s PSC position. This may include the current shareholder structure, voting arrangements, details of existing PSCs and records of any recent changes.

Review whether any change has occurred since the company’s last confirmation. Consider transfers of shares, new allotments, changes in voting rights, agreements affecting control and changes to a PSC’s personal details. If a change has occurred, identify the date and supporting information before entering it online.

You should also check that the people concerned have supplied or confirmed the details required for the company’s records. The government guidance states that certain PSC details must be confirmed before the information is sent to Companies House. A careful review at this stage can reduce the risk of submitting incomplete or inaccurate information.

Keep supporting company documents with your internal records. The online register records the relevant information and changes, but your company may also need agreements, resolutions or other documents to explain why a change took place.

What happens after you buy

1. You receive access to the online PSC Register and the Confirmation Statement process included in the package.

2. You review the online record of your company’s current PSC information and changes.

3. You check the existing company details shown in the pre-filled Confirmation Statement.

4. You gather and confirm any information needed to explain changes to PSC details or other company information.

5. You provide the applicable changes through the simple online process.

6. You review the information carefully before completing the relevant action.

7. You retain an accurate record of the information provided and monitor the company for future changes.

The exact action required after reviewing the information depends on your company’s circumstances. If nothing has changed, you should still follow the applicable Confirmation Statement process rather than assuming that no review is needed. If information has changed, make sure the change is properly reflected and that any additional requirements are considered.
