Confirmation Statement Filing Guide
The confirmation statement confirms key Companies House data remains accurate — even no-change years usually need a filing.
Introduction
Missed statements create compliance risk.
What does a confirmation statement confirm?
- registered office
- directors
- shareholders
- share capital
- SIC codes
- persons with significant control
- statutory registers snapshot
When is it due?
Companies House expects at least one filing every 12 months; the review window usually ends 12 months after incorporation or the previous statement date (GOV.UK).
Why it matters
Non-compliance can escalate to strike-off risk and weakens supplier or finance due diligence.
Common mistakes
Assuming silence means no filing, outdated PSC data, wrong SIC narratives, stale shareholder cap tables and missing the review email.
