PSC Statement Withdrawal

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the process take?

The process typically takes 1-2 days once the details are submitted. We file to Companies House instantly after you submit the withdrawal details, and approval is usually granted within 1 working day.

What details are required?

You will need to provide the register entry date (when the original "no PSC" statement was filed) and the withdrawal date (when the statement should be withdrawn). These dates ensure Companies House has accurate records of when the statement was in effect.

When should I withdraw a "no PSC" statement?

You should withdraw a "no PSC" statement when you discover that your company does have Persons with Significant Control. This typically happens when someone acquires more than 25% of shares or voting rights, or when you realise that an existing shareholder or director meets the PSC criteria that you hadn't previously identified.

What happens after I withdraw the statement?

After withdrawing the "no PSC" statement, you should immediately file PSC notifications for any individuals or entities that meet the PSC criteria. This ensures your PSC register is accurate and up-to-date. Our platform makes it easy to file PSC notifications after withdrawing a statement.

Does the service include filing to Companies House?

Yes, the service includes filing the PSC09 (Update of a PSC Statement) form with Companies House. We handle the entire filing process on your behalf, ensuring all information is accurate and compliant with Companies House requirements.

Is this service really free?
