Account Requirements

  • A Companies House credit account, also known as a "fee-bearing account", is required to file via Athennian.
  • If you do not already have one, follow the steps provided by Companies House to apply for a credit account to enable software filing. This involves completing the Companies House credit account application form and emailing it to chdfinance@companieshouse.gov.uk.
  • Once you receive your account details, enter the credentials on your Settings > Account > Profile page in the Companies House Presenter ID and Companies House Presenter Authentication Code fields.
