answer text

<p>Companies House does not hold figures on the number of companies that have registered a shell company as their PSC. Companies can legitimately register a company as their PSC if that company meets the conditions of control, is the first legal entity in a company’s ownership chain and they are subject to their own disclosure requirements. A full explanation of the rules can be found in <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/515720/Non-statutory_guidance_for_companies__LLPs_and_SEsv4.pdf" target="_blank">BEIS guidance</a>.</p><p> </p>
