Registering your company and setting up your tax obligations is just the beginning. Depending on your industry, your trading activities, and the type of data your business handles, UK law may require you to complete a range of additional business registrations before you can legally operate without risk of significant financial penalties.
At CBM Accounting Ltd, we provide comprehensive compliance support that goes beyond standard company formation and tax setup. We identify every regulatory obligation relevant to your specific business activities and manage each registration from start to finish — so nothing is overlooked, and nothing puts your business at risk.
Many UK businesses unknowingly operate without critical regulatory registrations — not out of negligence, but simply because these requirements aren’t always obvious at the point of starting up. The consequences, however, can be severe: fines from HMRC, delays at customs, legal liability, or removal from the Companies House public register.
Getting your UK business compliance right from the outset is far less costly than dealing with the fallout of missed obligations later. Our team stays current with all evolving regulatory requirements — including the landmark 2026 Companies House reforms — ensuring your business is always one step ahead of its compliance obligations.
One of the most significant UK business regulatory changes in recent years comes into effect in 2026. Under new rules introduced by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, all company directors and Persons of Significant Control (PSCs) are now required to complete mandatory identity verification with Companies House.
This requirement applies to:
Failure to complete Companies House ID verification can result in your details being flagged on the public register, restrictions being placed on your company’s filing ability, and ultimately, the risk of your company being struck off. CBM Accounting guides directors and PSCs through the full verification process, ensuring submissions are completed accurately and on time — protecting both your personal standing and your company’s legal status.
If your business moves goods between the UK and any other country — whether importing raw materials, exporting finished products, or operating in cross-border e-commerce — you are legally required to hold a valid EORI number (Economic Operator Registration and Identification number).
An EORI number registration UK is issued by HMRC and must be included on all customs declarations and import/export documentation. Without it, your goods can be held at the border, leading to costly delays, storage charges, and disruption to your supply chain — regardless of whether you’re trading with EU countries, the US, or anywhere else in the world.
We manage the full HMRC EORI number application on your behalf, ensuring:
Whether you’re an established importer/exporter adding a new trading arm or a start-up entering international trade for the first time, we ensure your EORI registration is handled efficiently and correctly.
We don’t operate a tick-box compliance service. When you work with CBM Accounting Ltd, we take the time to understand your business activities, your trading relationships, and your growth plans — then identify every regulatory registration your business currently requires or may require in the future.
Whether you’re a newly incorporated company navigating the 2026 Companies House reforms, or an established business expanding into international trade and needing an EORI number UK registration, CBM Accounting Ltd has the expertise to handle every detail on your behalf.
Don’t leave your compliance to chance. Let our team identify your obligations, manage your registrations, and give you the confidence that your business is fully protected — from day one and beyond.
