What Is a Confirmation Statement?
The confirmation statement is a snapshot of your company information. It confirms that key company details are up to date, such as:
- Registered office address
- Directors and People with Significant Control (PSC)
- Shareholder information
- SIC code (your business activity)
- Statement of capital
When Do You Need to File It?
You must file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even if nothing has changed. The due date is usually the anniversary of your company formation or your last confirmation statement filing.
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?
Failure to file your confirmation statement can result in:
- Fines of up to £5,000
- Possible company strike-off from the Companies House register
- Damage to your professional credibility
