How can we help?
It is important to ensure that your company’s confirmation statement is filed by the correct date to avoid being fined. Every company is required by law to file an annual confirmation statement to the registrar of companies. The statement acts to confirm that your company has delivered all of the information it is required to provide from the previous review period.
Our corporate solicitors regularly assist companies with their confirmation statements removing the risk of a breach of the Companies Act by making annual filings on your behalf.
If you would like to speak to our specialist team about our confirmation statement services please call us on 01616 966 229 or complete our online enquiry form and we will contact you directly.
The 12 month review period begins on the anniversary of the company’s formation and the confirmation statement needs to be delivered to the Registrar of Companies within 14 days after the review period comes to an end. You are able to submit additional statements during the review period and in this instance the review period will then run from the day after the most recently submitted submission.
Companies are under a duty to detail all relevant events such as:
The information required to be delivered with the confirmation statement varies depending on whether the company is:
If your confirmation statement is not filed in time it is classed as an offence committed by the company, it’s directors and company secretary (unless they can show they took all reasonable steps to avoid the offence), other persons treated as officers of the company in relation to the offence and shadow directors. Your company will be subject to a fine and there is a daily default fine for continued contravention.
