Confirmation statement filing in Bewdley

Confirmation statements for Bewdley 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 Bewdley businesses: local facts

Bewdley is in the Wyre Forest council area, in the West Midlands region. Wyre Forest has around 3,565 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 3,205 of them, about 90%, have fewer than ten employees (ONS UK Business Counts, 2026). That is the group the micro-entity rules were written for.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Wyre Forest are construction (600), wholesale and retail (500) and professional, scientific and technical services (410). For construction companies in Bewdley, Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. That puts construction at 19% of the local micro-business base.

Zooming in, the ONS neighbourhood area around Bewdley (Wyre Forest 011) has 375 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses, and 340 of them (91%) are micro businesses.

Wyre Forest ranks 1002 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 wholesale and retail (500 micro businesses in Wyre Forest), 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. In professional, scientific and technical services (410 micro businesses in Wyre Forest), 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.
