Understanding Your Confirmation Statement Obligations

A confirmation statement, previously known as an annual return, is a crucial document that limited companies in the UK must file annually with Companies House. This statement ensures that the information held about your company is accurate and up-to-date.

Each year, you need to provide details such as your registered office address, statement of capital, shareholder information, SIC code, and information about People with Significant Control (PSC).

While the filing fee is typically £34, at SBX, we absorb this cost and submit this annually for our clients, allowing you to focus on running your business without the added financial and administrative burden. It's important to note that the confirmation statement is separate from any changes to your company, which must be reported through different filings.

Failure to submit your confirmation statement can lead to fines of up to £5,000 and potential strike-off of your company from the register. Let us take care of this for you, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
