How we keep your company in good standing
Every limited company and LLP in the UK must file a confirmation statement at least once a year. It confirms that Companies House holds the right information about your directors, shareholders, registered office and activities. Miss the deadline and you risk fines up to £5,000, or worse, having your company struck off the register.
We take care of the entire process for you. We check your details beforehand, file form CS01 online within the 14-day window, and make sure everything is accurate and compliant. You get peace of mind and a receipt confirming your company is in good standing.
Filing on time protects your company from penalties and keeps your good name with Companies House.
More information
What happens during filing
We review your current company information, including directors, people with significant control, your registered office address, SIC codes and share capital. If anything needs updating separately, we handle that first. Then we complete the online filing, pay the £50 fee on your behalf, and send you confirmation once it is done. The whole process takes around 15 minutes online, but we build in time to check everything thoroughly.
Most of our clients are small businesses in Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and across the Vale who simply want their annual filings sorted without having to remember dates or dig out authentication codes. Whether you are a salon owner in Whitchurch, a tradesperson in Pontypridd, or running a retail shop in the city centre, we make sure this legal requirement does not become a last-minute panic.
Keeping track of what is due
Your first confirmation statement is due 12 months after you incorporate. After that, it is an annual task. We set reminders well in advance and reach out before your deadline, so nothing slips through the cracks. If your company details change during the year, we update those separately and then reflect them in your next statement. You do not need to worry about monitoring your Companies House account or setting up email alerts. That is our job.
Confirmation statements replaced the old annual return a few years back, and recent updates mean directors now need personal verification codes for online filing. It is one more layer of admin that can trip people up if they are doing it themselves. We stay on top of the rules so you do not have to.
