CG Incorporations is a fully ACSP-registered, HMRC-regulated TCSP with full AML supervision. Learn why non-UK residents should only trust regulated nominee director providers—especially ahead of the March 2026 reforms.

Why ACSP Registration Matters

Nominees / Nominee Directors

As the UK tightens its corporate transparency and identity verification rules, the importance of choosing a fully regulated service provider has never been greater. CG Incorporations Limited is proud to be a Companies House ACSP-registered firm, a HMRC-regulated Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP), and fully AML-supervised. For non-UK residents relying on nominee director services or non-resident company formation, this means one thing: complete safety, legal compliance, and a level of professionalism you can trust.

Why Regulation Matters: The Difference Between Safe and Risky Providers

Many overseas clients are unaware that the UK corporate services industry contains both regulated and unregulated operators. An unregulated nominee director provider may appear cheaper or quicker—but they cannot offer the safety, legal protection, or compliance required under UK law. CG Incorporations gives clients a professional, regulated environment with full accountability and transparency.

What Makes CG Incorporations a Safe Choice?

  • ACSP-registered: Authorised by Companies House to verify identities and submit filings
  • HMRC-regulated TCSP: Our activities are closely supervised under UK law
  • AML-supervised: We follow strict anti-money laundering rules that protect clients from legal risk
  • Professional nominee officers: Our nominees follow strict boundaries and documented agreements
  • Full compliance infrastructure: We ensure every director and PSC is properly verified
  • Trusted by non-UK residents requiring privacy and UK presence

With major reforms arriving in March 2026—when only ACSP-registered firms will be able to verify directors or file company updates—this level of oversight becomes even more important. Firms that are not ACSP-registered will no longer be allowed to operate, meaning clients working with unregulated agents will be forced to switch.

By choosing CG Incorporations now, you avoid that disruption. Your company remains safe, compliant and professionally managed under UK law at all times.

And because we are already registered as an ACSP and HMRC-regulated TCSP, every service we provide—from nominee directors to VAT registration—is backed by regulatory compliance and proper governance.

The 2026 Reforms: Why Using a Regulated Provider Is Now Essential

Beginning March 2026, Companies House will require all directors, PSCs and subscribers to complete identity verification through:

  • a fully registered ACSP, or
  • the Companies House verification system (limited availability)

Non-UK residents must use an ACSP to satisfy these requirements. This means unregulated nominee providers—and many offshore firms—will no longer be legally permitted to operate. Their clients will have little choice but to move to a compliant provider and pay again for onboarding and verification.

CG Incorporations clients will not face these issues. We are already operating at the required regulatory standard and have full authority to verify identities, manage filings and maintain compliant nominee arrangements.

FAQs

ACSP-registered firms are authorised to verify directors and PSCs, submit filings and maintain company compliance under the new Companies House rules. Unregulated firms cannot do this, meaning their clients face legal and operational risk. Choosing an ACSP protects your business.

Yes. CG Incorporations Limited is fully ACSP-registered, AML-supervised and regulated by HMRC as a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP). This ensures every service we deliver meets UK legal and compliance requirements at the highest standard.

A regulated nominee director operates under strict legal boundaries, transparent agreements and controlled authority. You remain the beneficial owner at all times, and the nominee cannot act outside the scope defined in your contract. This protects your company, assets and reputation.

You should check whether they appear on the Companies House ACSP register and whether they are regulated by HMRC as a TCSP. If they cannot verify your identity or handle filings after March 2026, they are not an ACSP. Clients using such providers will need to switch.
