This useful service offered by Companies House has recently come to our attention. The Companies House Monitor Service works as part of their WebCHeck and Companies House Direct facility and enables you to ‘monitor’ when documents have been filed into Companies House. As soon as the documents are received and registered for companies that you have chosen to 'monitor' then you will receive an e mail. You then have the option to download the actual document.
Whilst there is a charge for this service, which is per company monitored, it is an easier solution in conversions from Administration to CVL than having to check Companies House daily to see when your notice of conversion has been registered and hence the CVL commences and you are appointed liquidator. It could also be used as a way of checking to ensure that the documents you have filed with Companies House have actually been received by them.
