A Confirmation Statement is a document that UK companies and LLPs must file annually with Companies House to confirm that the information about the company is up to date. Kindly note that Confirmation statement is not the same as Annual accounts or corporate accounts.

Filing a Confirmation Statement is a legal requirement under the Companies Act 2006. It ensures that Companies House has accurate and current information about the company’s directors, shareholders, registered office, and other significant details.

You must file a Confirmation Statement at least once every 12 months. The due date is usually a year after the incorporation of the company or the date of the last Confirmation Statement. You have 14 days from the due date to submit the statement.

Failing to file a Confirmation Statement on time can result in penalties and could lead to the company being struck off the Companies House register. Directors may also face personal liability for non-compliance.

Yes, you can update certain company information, such as the registered office address, SIC codes, and shareholder details, when filing the Confirmation Statement. However, changes to directors, secretaries, and PSCs must be reported separately using the appropriate forms.

Yes, even dormant companies must file a Confirmation Statement annually to confirm that their information is up to date.

The Confirmation Period is the 12-month period covered by the Confirmation Statement. It starts from the date of incorporation or the date the last Confirmation Statement was made up to.

Yes, Confirmation Statement can be filed early if all the required information is up to date. The next Confirmation Period will then begin from the date you file the statement.
