Confirmation statement filing in Hawick

Confirmation statements for Hawick 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 Hawick businesses: local facts

Hawick is in the Scottish Borders council area, in Scotland. In Scottish Borders, 4,490 of the 5,000 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses in the 2026 ONS count have fewer than ten employees, around 90%. If you run a company in Hawick, you are in good company.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Scottish Borders are agriculture, forestry and fishing (1,130), construction (630) and wholesale and retail (570). For agriculture, forestry and fishing companies in Hawick, seasonal income, grants and farm equipment need careful year-end treatment, so we tie your accounts to bank records and an asset register. That puts agriculture, forestry and fishing at 25% of the local micro-business base.

Scottish Borders ranks 793 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 90% is in line with the 89% average across them. In construction (630 micro businesses in Scottish Borders), 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 (570 micro businesses in Scottish Borders), 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.
