Confirmation statement filing in Dunblane

Confirmation statements for Dunblane 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 Dunblane businesses: local facts

Dunblane is in the Stirling council area, in Scotland. Stirling has around 3,935 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 3,500 of them, about 89%, 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 Stirling are professional, scientific and technical services (575), construction (470) and wholesale and retail (420). For professional, scientific and technical services companies in Dunblane, 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 16% of the local micro-business base.

Stirling ranks 954 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In construction (470 micro businesses in Stirling), 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 (420 micro businesses in Stirling), 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.
