Dear Nicola

 

Thank you for your request for information dated 24 January 2014 in which
you request the following information;

 

o A list of all incorporated formation agencies that were used to form
companies in the financial year 2012-2013
o The date each agency was incorporated
o The total number of companies formed through each agency

Unfortunately I am unable to provide you with the information requested as
Companies House does not hold a definitive list of all incorporated
formation agencies. It is not possible to determine from the statutory
information we collect whether the primary role of an incorporated
organisation is the formation of limited companies.

However, on our website we do provide a list of those agents that have the
ability to submit electronic incorporations, obviously as you will see
some of these are not incorporated bodies.  The following is a link to
those agents;
[1]http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/toolsTo...

 

If you wish to determine the date of incorporation of any of the formation
agents on this list or any others that you are aware of that are limited
companies then you can do so through our search services.

I am unable to provide this information free of charge as under section 21
of the Freedom of Information Act any information that is reasonably
accessible to the applicant is exempt under the Act.

 

As there is no statutory requirement to collect data on
formation/presenter information we do not hold this information
routinely.  The only way to identify this information would be to view
every single company record to see if that information is included.  I
should point out that there is no statutory requirement to include
presenter information on forms submitted to Companies House.

  

Whilst I have not been able to answer your specific request, I hope the
above information is useful to you but if you have any queries about this
email, please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number
above in any future communications.

 

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our response,
you should write to me, within two calendar months of the date of this
email, and I will ensure that it is forwarded to a senior member of
Companies House who has had no previous involvement in this case and they
will undertake the review.

 

If you are then not content with the outcome of your review, you may apply
directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the
ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints
procedure provided by us. The Information Commissioner can be contacted
at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

 

Yours sincerely
