What to look for in a UK corporate service provider:

A note for lawyers, accountants, company directors and company secretaries

UK companies are now subject to increasing legal and regulatory burdens which for most businesses represents a significant challenge.  Late filing of annual confirmation statements or financial statements now generate significant financial penalties, and directors of UK companies now face the threat of criminal prosecution for various administrative derelictions including late filing of accounts.  This criminalisation process has only been increased by the new UK company "PSC" register.

The PSC register is, in effect, a beneficial owner register that must be available for public inspection.  Failure to create a PSC register, or keep it up to date, is a criminal offence, and the criminals will include the officers of the UK company.  Given the political investment made by the UK government in the PSC register, UK companies are well-advised to adhere to the detailed requirements of the regime.
