What information is synced?
When syncing with Companies House, the following details are brought into your file:
- Company name
- Company address
- Legal form
- Directors’ and secretaries’ names, start dates and resignation dates
We currently do not sync the field 'region' in the company address.
Where is the information used in Silverfin?
Silverfin uses the imported data in the Statutory information (Directors, Secretaries and Shareholders) reconciliation, so the latest details from Companies House are reflected in your file.
What happens when Companies House data changes?
Initial sync
When you first open the reconciliation, a yellow banner appears at the top of the screen. This banner tells you that Companies House holds additional information that has not yet been populated in your current template.
Populating the data
Click the Use the data from Companies House button on the right to fill in the missing details. The yellow banner then disappears.
Updating the information
If any data in Companies House changes, the yellow banner returns. You can then update the fields by syncing the new information from Companies House.
