Confirmation statement filing in Farnham

Confirmation statements for Farnham 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.

If you work in professional, scientific and technical services in Farnham, 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.

Waverley ranks 508 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 91% is above the 89% average across them. In construction (845 micro businesses in Waverley), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In information and communication (730 micro businesses in Waverley), software subscriptions, equipment and contractor invoices are common, and contractors often ask about IR35, so we review both when preparing your return.
