Confirmation statement filing in Boston

Confirmation statements for Boston 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 Boston businesses: local facts

Boston is in the East Midlands region. Boston has around 2,395 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 2,115 of them, about 88%, 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 Boston are wholesale and retail (380), construction (280) and transport and storage (275). For wholesale and retail companies in Boston, 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. That puts wholesale and retail at 18% of the local micro-business base.

Zooming in, the ONS neighbourhood area around Boston (Boston 003) has 535 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses, and 465 of them (87%) are micro businesses.

Boston ranks 1085 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 88% is in line with the 89% average across them. In construction (280 micro businesses in Boston), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In transport and storage (275 micro businesses in Boston), vehicle costs, fuel and capital allowances are large lines in your accounts, so we make sure each is claimed in the right year.
