Protect your Company from being Hijacked
Join PROOF
In October 2009 Companies House introduced the The Registrar’s Protected Online Filing scheme - PROOF. The scheme protects company owners from unauthorised changes to their company details. The company agrees that they will only file certain documents electronically. If a fraudster tries to hijack their company by filing a piece of paper, such as change of director or address this will be rejected.
To join the PROOF scheme, you will first need to be registered for the Companies House WebFiling Service. The forms covered by the PROOF scheme are:
- Appointments
- Terminations
- Change of Particulars (Company Officers)
- Change of Registered Office Address
- Annual Return
