Confirmation Statement Filing in Hendon London — Keep Your Companies House Record Correct

A confirmation statement is a filing made to Companies House that confirms the information held on the public register about your company is accurate and up to date. It covers things such as your registered office address, registered email address, directors, shareholders, share capital, people with significant control and the nature of your business. It is not a financial document — no figures, accounts or tax calculations are submitted with it. Think of it as an annual (or more frequent) check-up on your company record rather than a report on how the business has performed.

Any company registered at Companies House will normally need to file a confirmation statement, regardless of where in the UK it is based or where its directors live. That includes private limited companies, companies limited by shares, companies limited by guarantee and dormant or non-trading companies. If your company is registered in Hendon London or anywhere else in the UK and is still on the register, there is very likely a confirmation statement obligation attached to it. The exact position can depend on your company's circumstances, so it is worth checking rather than assuming you are exempt.

UK companies generally need to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if the company is dormant or not trading. Companies House works from a review period that runs from the date of incorporation or from the date of your last confirmation statement, and there is a set deadline by which the filing is normally due — typically within 14 days of the statement date. You can file more than one confirmation statement during a review period if your information changes, which is often useful when you want the public record corrected sooner rather than later.

The confirmation statement confirms the core details Companies House holds about your company, including the registered office address, the registered email address, company name and number, directors and company secretary where one is appointed, shareholders and share capital, people with significant control, SIC codes and the statement of lawful purpose. If any of that information has changed during the review period, it needs to be reviewed and, where appropriate, updated. Some changes cannot be dealt with on the confirmation statement alone — for example, a new director appointment or a change in PSC information may need to be reported to Companies House separately, and the confirmation statement then confirms the updated position.

In most cases, yes. Being dormant does not usually remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement, because the filing is about the accuracy of your company record rather than about trading activity or profit. A dormant company that has been set up for future use, or one that has simply paused activity, still appears on the public register and still needs its details confirmed. Because the requirement depends on your company's specific circumstances, it is always worth checking the position rather than assuming dormancy means no filings are needed.

No — these are three separate filings with different purposes and different deadlines. A confirmation statement confirms that the information Companies House holds about your company is accurate and up to date. Annual accounts are the statutory financial statements for your company's accounting period, prepared to an accounting standard and filed at Companies House. A Corporation Tax Return (CT600) is a tax filing submitted to HMRC reporting your company's taxable profits and the tax due. Completing a confirmation statement does not satisfy your accounts or tax obligations, and filing accounts or a CT600 does not replace your confirmation statement.

If a confirmation statement is not filed, the company record becomes out of date and Companies House can take enforcement action. That may include striking the company off the register, and there can be consequences for the company and its directors. Late or missed filings can also create problems later on — for example when opening a business bank account, applying for finance, or going through a due diligence process where a clean filing history matters. Keeping on top of Confirmation Statement Filing is far simpler than dealing with the fallout of a missed one.

With a professional service, you provide the details of any changes since your last statement, or simply confirm that nothing has changed, and the filing is prepared and submitted on your behalf. A good provider will check the company record against what you tell them, flag anything that needs a separate notification to Companies House, and confirm once the confirmation statement has been filed.
