Companies House filings, status, officers and charges, plus The Gazette's insolvency notices, which appear before the register changes. Each watched company is read about once an hour.

What Filing Radar watches for
Winding-up petition
A creditor has asked the court to wind the company up. This is the earliest public sign of serious financial difficulty; banks often freeze accounts once a petition is advertised.
Proposal to strike off
Companies House has published a first Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off, usually because the company has not filed accounts or a confirmation statement. Unless someone objects or the filings are made, the company is dissolved about two months later.
Administration
An administrator has been appointed to rescue the company or realise its assets for creditors. A moratorium stops most legal action against it.
Creditors' voluntary liquidation
The shareholders have resolved to wind up an insolvent company. A liquidator will realise its assets and pay creditors in order of priority.
Winding-up order
The court has ordered the company into compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver or a liquidator takes control of its assets.
Dissolved
The company no longer exists as a legal entity. Any debts owed by it are, in practice, unrecoverable unless it is restored.
New charge registered
A new charge (such as a debenture or mortgage) has been registered, so a lender now has security over some or all of the company's assets.
Accounts overdue
The company's annual accounts are late. Persistent lateness is one of the commonest precursors to strike-off.
Confirmation statement overdue
The company's confirmation statement is late.
Officer resigned
A director or secretary has left.
Name changed
The company has changed its registered name.
Registered office changed
The registered office address has changed.
Why not just use Companies House "Follow"?
You can, and it is free. It sends one email per filing, for one company at a time, and it tells you a document arrived, not what it means. Filing Radar adds the parts a credit controller or bookkeeper needs: a list you can import, alerts sorted by what matters, The Gazette's petitions and notices, current flags for every company at a glance, and a weekly summary of the whole list.
