Crackdown at Companies House: 11,500 firms struck off


A major enforcement operation has led to over 11,500 UK companies being removed from the Companies House register. The action, led by the National Economic Crime Centre, targeted shell companies and rogue formation agents—some linked to thousands of suspicious incorporations.


This comes ahead of new rules under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, aimed at improving transparency and reducing fraud.
