Confirmation statements for Harleston 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.

In professional, scientific and technical services (805 micro businesses in South Norfolk), 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 (685 micro businesses in South Norfolk), 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.
