@neil I guess it’ll help stop people setting up a company with “Mr A Hitler” and “Mr D Duck” as directors before applying for a Covid small business loan.
@neil But but but it's "to make things simpler for companies and business owners."
Policy by the Wolf in Red Riding Hood.
"We estimate that 6 to 7 million individuals will need to verify their identity by mid-November 2026."
That's a lot of individuals!
@neil I suggest everyone uses the Post Office option. It doesn’t cost anything yet the gov pays the postmaster for every single check

@neil From what I now have read, my accountant (as an ACSP) should be able to do this for me. They need to be one anyway, as they file for me.
@tommorris @neil I wish they would stop instances where there are 300 companies registered to the same address. It's clear that if anyone ever needs to take any enforcement action against a company, the registered address is going to be of no use in those cases.
Tbh it's a very valuable service if you're a small business owner who wants to preserve their privacy
@neil @erincandescent @tommorris TBH I'm pretty on the fence about preserving privacy whilst taking advantage of the Limited Company protections.
@neil seems reasonable. Doesn't stop requiring Id for porn being a ticking time bomb...
@neil Finally - only >150 years too late. (Having had to track down a fake company registered at our address)
