Official Companies House Identity Verification Services in Worthing
Fast, Fully Compliant ID Checks by an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP)
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, all UK company directors, Persons with Significant Control (PSCs), and agents filing on behalf of companies must verify their identity.
As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) registered with Companies House, Halcyon Accounting Services provides official, hassle-free identity verification for business owners across Worthing and West Sussex.
Why Use an ACSP for Your Companies House ID Check?
While direct digital verification through Companies House is available, many business owners prefer working through a registered ACSP to ensure total accuracy, avoid filing rejections, and combine verification with their ongoing accounting requirements.
