The Online Admin System: Update Code

matMSG — Wed, 09 May 2012 07:00:37 +0000

When you are carrying out admin for your limited company on our online admin system, you may notice the “Update Code” option next to the “Web Filing Authentication Code” area.

This section is for changing an old code to a new one that has been provided to you already by Companies House. It is not for requesting a change of code; this must still be done directly with Companies House.

Towards the end of March (the 29th to be exact) we blogged about “Moving your Limited Company to a Different Account on our System”. If you’ve not read it, do so now!

We are receiving requests from customers to move their limited company to accounts that don’t yet exist; we can only move companies into existing accounts. Therefore, before you request the transfer please make sure that the person you are transferring to has an account. If not, they can sign up for one here.
