Software Filing

The Software Filing service allows transfer and acknowledgement of electronic company data between presenters and Companies House.

The service is open to everyone but will benefit most those who file on a daily or weekly basis. The more documents you file the more appropriate Software Filing is likely to be. Lower volume filers can use the WebFiling service.

To use the Software Filing service you must either purchase suitable software or develop your own.

Purchasing Software: Some commercially available software packages provide a wide range of transactions whilst others are more specialised. These have been categorised to reflect this variation in capability.

• Accounts, Secretarial and Incorporations Software

Electronic Incorporations: Agents who provide an online company formation service have also been categorised.

• Formation & Company Secretarial Agents

Developing Software: A Technical Interface Specification giving detailed information for software developers is available from our Customer Care section on 029 2038 0336 or email mconnors@companieshouse.gov.uk
