Companies House has three main functions which are
the
incorporation, re-registration and striking-off of companies; the
registration of documents that must be filed under company, insolvency
and related legislation and the provision of company information to the
public - for this purpose we enforce compliance with legal requirements.

Charities Commission
Has
three offices located in London, Liverpool and Taunton. All three
offices do the same type of work, but this is distributed between
offices on a geographical basis. The location of a charity (usually
found in the correspondent address) determines which office is
responsible and therefore the London office is the most relevant for
Brighton and Hove.
