Confirmation statement filing in Torquay

Confirmation statements for Torquay 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.

Torbay ranks 941 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (565 micro businesses in Torbay), 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 (435 micro businesses in Torbay), 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.
