If you are a limited company contractor, you will need to inform Companies House if you change your personal or company address, company secretary, or your share capital.

Companies House is charged with maintaining details of all registered limited companies in the UK.

If any of the details of your original company formation change - you must tell Companies House.

In the 'old days', you had to manually fill in a variety of forms and use the postal system to communicate changes, but with the introduction of the WebFiling service, changes can be submitted rapidly online.
