Companies House Documents

Essential services for doing business abroad

We can issue certificates signed by a notary public in relation to all documents held at Companies House in the UK.

This service may be needed where a company is carrying on business in another country. The company’s documents and ‘the good standing’ of the company may often need to be verified by a notary public. Additionally, the authority and standing of a Director of the Company, or an authorised signatory of the company may require verification by a notary public.

Certificates of Good Standing

We can provide Certificates of Good Standing for your company for use in other countries.

A Certificate of Good Standing is used to prove that a company is incorporated and authorised to undertake business in the country it is registered. The Certificate of Good Standing confirms three things:

that the company has continued to exist since it was incorporated
that the company has no documents outstanding including accounts and confirmation statements
that no action is currently being taken to remove the company from the register maintained at Companies House

A Certificate of Good Standing can be obtained from Companies House and this can be notarised by a notary or a bespoke certificate can be prepared by the notary and notarised.

Setting up and managing your business abroad

If you are setting up a company abroad, opening an overseas branch, opening bank accounts or promoting your brand in other countries, you will probably be asked to provide copies of various documents certified by a notary or have to sign documents in front of a notary.

We can help you with satisfying these requirements

Please contact us if your company requires the services of a notary public.
