Professional UK Company Records Update Services — Accurate, Compliant & Essential for Your Legal Obligations
Every UK company — regardless of size — must maintain accurate, complete, and fully up-to-date statutory records, and must notify Companies House whenever key changes occur. These records are not optional. They form the core of your company’s legal identity and corporate governance obligations.
However, many business owners unintentionally overlook them.
Over time, as directors change, shareholders shift, shareholdings evolve, company addresses are updated, or internal structures adjust, statutory records often become outdated or incomplete. Unfortunately, outdated records can put your entire company at risk, including legal penalties, fines, compliance breaches, investor disputes, and even invalid corporate decisions.
At Audit Consulting Group (ACG), we help companies maintain accurate, compliant, and complete statutory records — ensuring your business stays protected, legally secure, and always ready for audits, investors, and regulatory checks.
We go far beyond basic updates. We perform deep compliance checks, correct historical errors, ensure alignment across all registers, reconcile Companies House data, and provide full guidance every step of the way.
Why Keeping Company Records Updated Is Critical
Many business owners assume updating records is simply “admin work”. In reality, it’s far more important. Statutory records are the legal backbone of your company. If they are wrong, incomplete, or missing, you can face multiple issues.
What Happens When Records Are Not Updated?
✔ Legal penalties and warnings
Companies House can send compliance notices, impose penalties, or escalate issues to enforcement.
✔ Investor or shareholder disputes
If registers do not accurately reflect ownership, disagreements can quickly arise.
✔ Blocked banking or funding
Banks and investors rely heavily on accurate statutory records to verify your company’s legitimacy.
✔ Invalid decisions
Certain board or shareholder decisions can be challenged if records were incorrect at the time.
✔ HMRC complications
Tax authorities may challenge filings if they don’t match statutory documentation.
✔ Risk during M&A or due diligence
Inaccurate records can reduce company value or kill deals entirely.
✔ Loss of trust
Suppliers, clients, and partners can lose confidence if your public records look disorganised or outdated.
✔ Director liability risks
Directors can be held responsible for failing to keep records updated.
Keeping your records current is not only best practice — it is legally mandatory.

This is more than a “quick check” — it’s a forensic review, ensuring that every detail is correct, consistent, and legally valid.

- share class
- number of shares
