Editorial and Listing Policy
This policy explains what the directory can verify, how information is labelled, and how readers can judge the evidence behind a page.
Directory data
Unclaimed listings use public Companies House information and are labelled as public-record listings. A Companies House activity code does not prove that a firm currently offers a particular service, holds a professional qualification, or accepts new clients.
Source-checked editorial profiles
A source-checked profile remains ownership-unclaimed. It must match the exact Companies House company number, include separate first-party or professional-body identity evidence, cite a current source for every service summary, distinguish legal-entity evidence from wider trading-group evidence, and include a complete filing snapshot. Profiles automatically fall out of the indexable set when their annual review expires. Inclusion does not mean the firm has approved the page or that the directory endorses it.
Claimed information
A claimed profile contains information supplied by or on behalf of the firm. Claiming a page is not itself a professional endorsement. Visitors should verify memberships, registrations, insurance, service scope, and engagement terms before appointing a firm.
Tax and accounting guidance
Guides and tools are general information, not personalised advice. Time-sensitive claims should link to an official source and display a review date. Important decisions should be checked against current GOV.UK, HMRC, Companies House, or professional-body guidance.
Corrections and updates
We correct material errors when identified and update review dates only after checking the substantive content. Listing owners and readers can report an issue through the contact page.
Report an error
Include the affected URL, the statement that needs attention, and an authoritative source where possible.
