Changes on the register
The public register changes without telling you. A director is appointed, an address moves, a charge is registered. snapdue keeps its own copy, compares it against the register, and records what moved so you find out from your own dashboard rather than from a buyer.
What counts as a change
A change of registered name, a change of status such as moving into liquidation, a change of registered office address, an officer appointed or resigned, a person with significant control added or removed, a charge registered or satisfied, and a change to the accounts or confirmation statement position.
An address is treated as one change rather than five, because a moved office changes several fields at once and reporting each separately buries the fact.
What snapdue shows you
The change feed on a company lists what moved and when, in plain words, and links to the filing that caused it where the register records one. A status change names no filing, because no single filing records it.
The feed renders even when nothing has changed, so an empty feed is an answer rather than a missing page.
When a change is not yours
A change you did not make is the single most useful thing this feed can show you. An officer appointed without your knowledge, or a charge registered against the company, is worth acting on the same day.
Companies House publishes guidance on reporting a fraudulent filing, and the sooner a filing is challenged the easier it is to correct.
Following and unfollowing
Only a company you follow produces anything. Unfollowing stops the feed and removes nothing, so it is always undoable, and following again brings everything back.
