Confirmation Statement

Every UK limited company has a legal responsibility to keep its company information up to date with Companies House. One of the key ways this is achieved is by filing a Confirmation Statement each year.

At Business Management Consultation (BMC), we make the process straightforward by preparing and filing your Confirmation Statement accurately and on time, ensuring your company remains compliant with Companies House requirements while giving you complete peace of mind.

What Is a Confirmation Statement?

A Confirmation Statement is a statutory filing that confirms the information Companies House holds about your company is correct and up to date.

Unlike annual accounts, a Confirmation Statement does not report your company’s financial performance. Instead, it confirms important company information, including:

  • Registered office address
  • Company officers (directors and secretaries)
  • People with Significant Control (PSC)
  • Shareholders and shareholdings
  • Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes
  • Company registers
  • Share capital information

If any of this information has changed during the year, it should normally be updated before or as part of submitting your Confirmation Statement.

Why Is a Confirmation Statement Important?

Every active limited company must submit a Confirmation Statement, even if nothing has changed since the previous filing.

Failing to file on time can result in serious consequences, including:

  • Companies House issuing compliance notices.
  • Financial penalties in certain circumstances.
  • The company being marked as overdue.
  • Directors potentially breaching their legal responsibilities.
  • The company being struck off the Companies House register.

Keeping your company records accurate also provides confidence to customers, suppliers, lenders, investors, and other stakeholders who rely on publicly available company information.
