Companies House is today launching WebFiling accounts to give businesses more control over their filings.
The first step in creating a single sign-in across all Companies House services, it claims to have improved security features such as multi-factor authentication.
As well as the ability to link a company to its leader’s accounts, they will have the ability to digitally authorise people to file on their behalf, and to remove authorisation when necessary. People can also file for multiple businesses.
There is also an option to sign up to emails to help people with the running of their company.
“When you log in to WebFiling after the new account has been introduced, you’ll need to give us some additional details to enable multi-factor authentication on your existing account,” Companies House advised.
“You will not need to sign up for a new account, and you’ll be able to use your existing email address and password.
“If you have a ‘Find and update company information’ service account, this account will not be affected by these changes at this time.”
