Confirmation statement filing in Ely

Confirmation statements for Ely 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.

Ely is in the East Cambridgeshire council area, in the East of England region. In East Cambridgeshire, 3,705 of the 4,140 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses in the 2026 ONS count have fewer than ten employees, around 89%. If you run a company in Ely, you are in good company.

The largest groups of micro businesses in East Cambridgeshire are construction (710), professional, scientific and technical services (565) and wholesale and retail (435). If you work in construction in Ely, 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.

East Cambridgeshire ranks 933 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 professional, scientific and technical services (565 micro businesses in East Cambridgeshire), 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. In wholesale and retail (435 micro businesses in East Cambridgeshire), 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.
