Confirmation statement filing in Ilkeston

Confirmation statements for Ilkeston 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 Ilkeston businesses: local facts

Ilkeston is in the Erewash council area, in the East Midlands region. ONS figures for 2026 count 3,690 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses in Erewash, and 3,215 of them (87%) employ fewer than ten people. Many are small enough to use the micro-entity regime.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Erewash are construction (655), wholesale and retail (490) and professional, scientific and technical services (430). If you work in construction in Ilkeston, 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 20% of the local micro-business base.

Zooming in, the ONS neighbourhood area around Ilkeston (Erewash 003) has 470 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses, and 415 of them (88%) are micro businesses.

Erewash ranks 1000 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 87% is below the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (490 micro businesses in Erewash), 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. In professional, scientific and technical services (430 micro businesses in Erewash), 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.
