PSC07 is the filing code people usually see when an individual ceases to be a person with significant control at Companies House. In practical terms, it is one of the clearest public signals that the control picture around a company has changed materially.
That makes PSC07 high-value for monitoring teams. A PSC leaving the register can change the ownership story your workflow, reporting, or diligence process is built around, so it is the sort of filing that deserves active follow-up.
What does PSC07 mean?
PSC07 means a filing was made to record that an individual person with significant control ceased to be in that position at Companies House. In plain language, the public register is telling you that the control relationship ended for that individual entry.
That makes PSC07 different from PSC01 or PSC04. One adds a PSC, one changes a PSC’s details, and PSC07 signals that the individual is no longer on the register in that PSC role.
What PSC07 does not tell you from the code alone
PSC07 tells you that an individual PSC ceased, but not the full commercial or legal background behind that change. You still need the live PSC section and surrounding filings to understand the broader context properly.
That matters because a cessation can be routine in some cases and strategically important in others. The code itself gives you the signal, not the entire explanation.
Why PSC07 matters for ownership monitoring
PSC exits matter because they change the control picture your team may rely on for governance review, reporting, onboarding, or diligence. PSC07 is therefore one of the clearest filing-history signals that ownership review may be needed immediately.
It can also matter alongside director changes or confirmation-statement activity, because a company can move through several governance updates around the same period.
What to check after you see PSC07
Once PSC07 appears, the practical move is to compare the current PSC section and surrounding company context rather than relying on the code alone.
Open the live PSC section Confirm who still appears on the current public record after the cessation filing landed.
Compare with your previous ownership view If your team tracks control manually, make sure the departed PSC is removed or reclassified correctly in internal records.
Check nearby filings Look for PSC01, PSC02, director, or confirmation-statement filings around the same period that may explain the wider update.
Decide whether the change needs active follow-up If the control exit matters to risk, reporting, or compliance workflow, someone should actively review it rather than letting it sit as a passive filing-history item.

Common questions
Does PSC07 mean a person stopped being a PSC?
Yes. In practical terms, PSC07 points to an individual person with significant control ceasing to be recorded in that role on the register.
Is PSC07 the same as changing PSC details?
No. PSC07 is about the individual ceasing to be a PSC, not about amending the details on an existing PSC entry.
Does PSC07 tell me why the person ceased to be a PSC?
No. The code itself does not explain the full reason. You need the wider company context if that question matters to your review.
Can Entity Watch file PSC07 for me?
No. Entity Watch is not a filing agent and does not submit Companies House forms for you. It is a monitoring and workflow layer that helps teams understand what changed, what deadline is next, and where to follow up.
