Confirmation statements
Keeping your company information accurate and compliant
Proactive support for confirmation statements
A confirmation statement is a legally required document that must be filed annually by all UK limited companies, dormant companies, and LLPs with Companies House.
It confirms that the information Companies House holds about your business is accurate and up to date, including details such as your registered address, directors, shareholders, and Persons of Significant Control (PSC).
Once filed, the confirmation statement is available as part of the public record at Companies House, meaning anyone can view it. Banks, solicitors, and other organisations often use this information to verify company details when assessing credit applications, handling legal matters, or entering into contracts.
Failure to file a confirmation statement on time can lead to serious consequences, including issues with your company’s credit score and even the risk of being struck off the Companies House register.
Who will benefit from this service?
SMEs, owner-managed businesses, and any company that operates as a limited company.
Professional services organisations that operate as a limited liability partnership (LLP).
