Companies House Trading Disclosure Compliance Form

If you're running a UK limited company, you need to meet specific trading disclosure requirements set by Companies House under the Companies Act 2006. Non-compliance can result in fines and legal issues, so getting it right is essential.

This Companies House Trading Disclosure Compliance Form helps UK business owners, compliance officers, and company secretaries systematically check and document whether their business meets all statutory display and disclosure requirements. Whether you're conducting an internal audit, onboarding new premises, or responding to a compliance review, this template ensures you cover all the bases.

What are trading disclosure requirements?

UK law requires limited companies to display certain information at their registered office and business premises, and include specific details on business stationery, websites, and electronic communications. This includes your registered company name, registration number, registered office address, and in some cases, details about directors and share capital.

How Paperform helps you stay compliant

With Paperform's flexible form builder, you can customise this template to match your company's specific circumstances. Conditional logic shows relevant questions based on your business structure, while file upload fields let you attach photos of signage, copies of letterheads, and screenshots of websites for your compliance records.

Once submitted, responses are automatically organised and timestamped, creating an audit trail you can reference during inspections or reviews. You can integrate with tools like Google Sheets, Airtable, or your document management system to keep everything centralised.

For businesses managing compliance across multiple locations or clients, consider using Stepper to automate follow-up workflows—trigger reminder emails for non-compliant items, assign corrective tasks to facilities teams, or generate compliance reports that feed directly into your governance dashboard.

Who should use this form?

This template is designed for UK limited companies, PLCs, and their compliance teams, including company secretaries, legal advisors, office managers, and accountants who need to verify trading disclosure compliance. It's particularly useful during company formation, office relocations, rebranding exercises, or scheduled compliance audits.

Stay on top of your Companies House obligations with a simple, structured approach that keeps your business compliant and your records audit-ready.
