Companies House has introduced mandatory identity verification requirements for company directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) to improve corporate transparency, prevent company fraud and strengthen accountability.
As part of our UK company formation service, GM Accountants & Tax Consultants provide guidance to directors and PSCs on the Companies House identity verification requirements and how to obtain their unique Personal Codes.
Following successful identity verification, Companies House issues each individual with a unique 11-character Personal Code. This code is used to connect their verified identity to their relevant company appointments.
HMRC Company UTR – Corporation Tax Registration Assistance
Our company formation package also includes assistance with the relevant HMRC Corporation Tax registration process and your company’s Corporation Tax Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR).
Your company UTR is a unique 10-digit reference issued by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). It identifies your limited company for Corporation Tax purposes and is required when dealing with HMRC and submitting Corporation Tax returns.
Our service includes guidance on the HMRC registration process and obtaining your company’s Corporation Tax UTR.
The company UTR is issued directly by HMRC following the relevant registration process and is normally sent to your company’s registered office address. The timing of its issue is determined by HMRC.

5. What is the difference between a limited company and a limited liability partnership (LLP)?
A Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity owned by shareholders and managed by directors. A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a business structure commonly used by two or more partners who want to operate together while benefiting from limited liability.
The right structure depends on your business activities, ownership arrangements and tax position. GM Accountants can help you choose the most appropriate structure for your circumstances.
6. Can I register a limited company if I am the only director?
Yes. You can set up a private limited company in the UK with just one director and one shareholder. The same individual can fulfil both roles, provided they meet the legal requirements for company registration.
7. Do I need an accountant when setting up a limited company?
You are not legally required to appoint an accountant when forming a limited company. However, professional accounting support can help you manage your business finances, prepare annual accounts, submit corporation tax returns and meet your Companies House and HMRC obligations.
GM Accountants offer ongoing accounting and tax services to help your business remain compliant.
8. What is a Companies House Authentication Code?
A Companies House Authentication Code is a unique six-character code issued to your company. It is used as an electronic signature when submitting certain company information and making changes to your company’s records at Companies House.
9. Can a non-UK resident register a limited company in the UK?
Yes. You do not generally need to be a UK resident or British citizen to become a director or shareholder of a UK limited company. However, the company must have an appropriate registered office address in the relevant UK jurisdiction and meet all Companies House requirements.
10. What happens after my company has been incorporated?
Once your company is registered, you can begin trading, subject to any applicable regulatory requirements. You will also need to meet ongoing statutory obligations, including maintaining company records, filing annual accounts, submitting confirmation statements and meeting HMRC tax reporting and payment deadlines.
