Quick steps

  1. Open My Company settings in your personal account.
  2. Enter the complete company number and save.
  3. Choose whether to show the shortcut in the sidebar.
  4. Set up monitoring separately if you want updates.

Save a personal company

Open Settings → My Company settings. Enter the full Companies House company number, including leading zeros or letters, and choose Save company. Check the matched company before using the shortcut. This setting belongs to your personal account.

Show, hide or remove the shortcut

After a valid company is saved, Show in sidebar controls whether My Company appears in navigation. Turning it off keeps the saved company number. Remove saved company clears the personal shortcut and hides it. Neither action removes the company from a watchlist or changes its alerts.

Set the team’s company separately

Each team has its own company setting. The team owner can save a company number beside Team name in Team details and control Show in sidebar for the whole team. Switching accounts uses that account’s own setting; a team without a saved company does not use your personal choice.

A shortcut does not start monitoring

My Company opens the existing public company profile. Saving it does not verify ownership, add the company to a watchlist, start monitoring or enable notifications. To follow changes, use Add to watchlist or create a company alert separately. If the number cannot be found or checked, review the message and retry; your previously saved choice is kept.
