Certificate of Good Standing
Confirmation of your company’s status from Companies House.
What is a Certificate of Good Standing:
A certificate of Good Standing is a document issued by Companies House that confirms a company’s registration and ‘good standing’ in the UK. It confirms that there are no discrepancies with the company’s filings, such as a missing confirmation statement or annual accounts.
The purpose of the Certificate of Good Standing is to demonstrate (to potential customers, partners and investors) that a company is fully operational, compliant and legitimate – in short, in good standing.
