Authorised Corporate Service Provider London

Professional Companies House Authorised Agent Services for UK and International Clients

An Authorised Corporate Service Provider London offers professional support with Companies House identity verification and other corporate administration requirements. ACSPs are authorised agents registered with Companies House and must be supervised by an appropriate UK Anti-Money Laundering body.

For businesses and international clients operating through UK companies, working with an experienced ACSP can make corporate compliance and identity verification more straightforward.

What Is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider?

An ACSP is a professional individual or business authorised by Companies House to carry out specific services for clients. Accountants, solicitors, company formation agents and other qualifying professionals can become ACSPs.

An ACSP must maintain appropriate AML supervision and comply with Companies House requirements. Where it verifies someone's identity, it must follow the Companies House identity verification standard and retain the required records.

ACSP Identity Verification London

One of the main services currently available to ACSPs is Companies House identity verification.

A director or person with significant control can ask an ACSP to verify their identity on their behalf. The client provides the required personal information and acceptable identity evidence, while the ACSP carries out the necessary checks.

After successful verification, Companies House provides the individual with a personal code that can be used to connect the verified identity with the relevant company records.

Services an ACSP Can Provide

Depending on the provider, an Authorised Corporate Service Provider London may offer:

  • Companies House identity verification

  • Director verification

  • PSC verification

  • Company formation support

  • Companies House filing assistance

  • Registered office services

  • Company secretarial services

  • Corporate administration

  • Overseas director support

  • UK company compliance assistance

The exact services available vary between ACSPs.

London ACSP Services for Overseas Clients

London is an important location for international businesses establishing UK companies. Overseas entrepreneurs, investors, property businesses and corporate groups may require professional assistance with UK company administration without being physically based in Britain.

An ACSP can be particularly useful where an overseas director needs Companies House identity verification or where a business requires professional assistance maintaining its UK corporate records.

Identity verification through an ACSP can be completed from any country, provided the ACSP can carry out the required checks.

Choosing an Authorised Corporate Service Provider London

Businesses should check an ACSP's current Companies House status before engaging its services. Companies House maintains a published list of ACSPs, although the list may not include every registered provider.

It is also sensible to consider:

  • AML supervision

  • Companies House registration

  • Experience with international clients

  • Identity verification capabilities

  • Corporate administration experience

  • Registered office services

  • Service fees

  • Whether services are available remotely

A provider should be able to clearly explain which services it is authorised to perform and what information will be required.
