How can I change the details of a company director?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If you need to update a company director’s details — such as their address, date of birth, appointment, or resignation — this cannot be done through Capitalise.

All director updates must be made directly with Companies House, the UK’s official registrar of companies. Once Companies House processes the change, it will be reflected in your public record and business credit profile.

Information regarding directors that needs updating at Companies House:

Types of director updates:

  • Change of residential address

  • Change of service address

  • Appointment of a new director

  • Resignation or removal of a director

  • Corrections to name, nationality, or occupation, date of birth or other personal information

How to update director details with Companies House:

Companies House has specific procedures and forms for updating director information. The most common method is through their online filing services. You will typically need to:

  • Use the Companies House online filing platform. This is often the quickest and most efficient way to submit changes. Use the WebFiling service for online updates

  • Alternatively, you can download the relevant forms (e.g., AP01, TM01, CH01) from the Companies House website (usually within the "Forms" section) and submit them by post.

For detailed guidance on the specific forms and processes for updating director details, please refer directly to the official Companies House website. They provide step-by-step instructions and information on all filing requirements.

Once your submission is processed by Companies House, Experian (Capitalise credit data provider) will automatically collect the updated information. This will be reflected in your Capitalise credit profile within 5–10 working days.
