Confirmation statement filing in Kenley

Confirmation statements for Kenley 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 Kenley businesses: local facts

Kenley is in the Croydon council area, in the London region. ONS figures for 2026 count 14,955 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses in Croydon, and 13,855 of them (93%) employ fewer than ten people. Many are small enough to use the micro-entity regime.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Croydon are construction (2,370), professional, scientific and technical services (2,265) and wholesale and retail (1,995). If you work in construction in Kenley, 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 17% of the local micro-business base.

Zooming in, the ONS neighbourhood area around Kenley (Croydon 042) has 285 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses, and 265 of them (93%) are micro businesses.

Croydon ranks 194 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 93% is above the 89% average across them. In professional, scientific and technical services (2,265 micro businesses in Croydon), 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 (1,995 micro businesses in Croydon), 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.
