Closed petition Require Companies House to verify proof of address before registering a company
Closed on
I want it to be a legal requirement for Companies House to verify proof of address prior to anyone registering a company at an address. Currently anyone can register a company at any address which can enable fraudulent activity.
Make it a legal requirement for proof of address prior to registering a company, which should help stop fraudulent companies being set up.
