Confirmation statement filing in Northfleet

Confirmation statements for Northfleet 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 Northfleet businesses: local facts

Northfleet is in the Gravesham council area, in the South East region. Gravesham has around 4,195 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 3,875 of them, about 92%, have fewer than ten employees (ONS UK Business Counts, 2026). That is the group the micro-entity rules were written for.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Gravesham are construction (960), wholesale and retail (495) and professional, scientific and technical services (480). For construction companies in Northfleet, 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 25% of the local micro-business base.

Zooming in, the ONS neighbourhood area around Northfleet (Gravesham 001) has 300 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses, and 260 of them (87%) are micro businesses.

Gravesham ranks 906 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 92% is above the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (495 micro businesses in Gravesham), 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 (480 micro businesses in Gravesham), 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.
