Annual filings, registered-agent and beneficial-ownership obligations, and the official company registry.

In the UK, companies are registered at Companies House, which also receives ongoing filings. Companies must keep a registered office, file an annual confirmation statement and accounts, keep statutory registers (including people with significant control), and report changes to directors and shareholdings. Recent reforms have strengthened identity verification.
