Confirmation statement filing in Bearsden

Confirmation statements for Bearsden companies

A confirmation statement tells Companies House that the information it holds about your company is correct: registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control. It is due at least once every 12 months, and the statement must be filed within 14 days of the end of your review period. Missing it can lead to the company being struck off.

Companies House confirmation statement for Bearsden businesses: local facts

Bearsden is in the East Dunbartonshire council area, in Scotland. In East Dunbartonshire, 2,520 of the 2,805 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses in the 2026 ONS count have fewer than ten employees, around 90%. If you run a company in Bearsden, you are in good company.

The largest groups of micro businesses in East Dunbartonshire are professional, scientific and technical services (485), construction (405) and wholesale and retail (320). If you work in professional, scientific and technical services in Bearsden, fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised. That puts professional, scientific and technical services at 19% of the local micro-business base.

East Dunbartonshire ranks 1067 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 90% is in line with the 89% average across them. In construction (405 micro businesses in East Dunbartonshire), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In wholesale and retail (320 micro businesses in East Dunbartonshire), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.

Scottish companies are registered with Companies House in the same way as English ones and the filing deadlines are identical. Scottish income tax bands apply to salary, but dividends and Corporation Tax follow UK rules.
