Company secretarial services that keep your Companies House filings on time.
Confirmation statements, statutory filings and the details Companies House expects you to keep current — handled alongside your accounts, so it is one less deadline to track yourself.
The admin side of being a limited company
Incorporating gives you a separate legal entity, and that entity has its own paperwork. Companies House expects your registered details to stay accurate and your filings to arrive on time, every year, whether the business had a busy year or a quiet one. Company secretarial work is simply making sure that happens without it landing on your desk.
Companies House filings, sorted alongside your accounts
Every limited company package includes support with the paperwork that keeps you compliant with Companies House.
- Confirmation statements prepared and filed on time
- The routine statutory filings that come with running a company
- Keeping your registered details accurate at Companies House
- Statutory year-end accounts prepared and filed with Companies House and HMRC
- Deadlines tracked for you, so nothing is left to a diary reminder
- A named accountant to ask when something changes in the company
Two filings, two different dates
The confirmation statement and the annual accounts are separate obligations with separate deadlines, which is where a lot of first-time directors come unstuck.
Private companies file their annual accounts with Companies House nine months after their year end. The confirmation statement is filed each year on the company's review date, confirming that the registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control on the public record are still correct. Missing either brings automatic penalties, so we work to the dates rather than to reminders. Our key tax dates page lays out the full year in one place.
A good fit if you…
- Run a limited company and would rather not track Companies House deadlines
- Have just incorporated and are not sure what has to be filed, or when
- Have had a change of director, address or shareholding to record
- Want your statutory filings handled by the same people who do your accounts
- Have been caught out by a filing deadline before
Common questions
What are company secretarial services?
Company secretarial services cover the Companies House side of running a limited company — filing the confirmation statement each year, keeping the company's registered details up to date, and dealing with the routine statutory filings that come with being incorporated.
Do I still need a company secretary?
A private limited company does not have to appoint a company secretary, but the underlying work still has to be done. The filings and record-keeping remain the directors' legal responsibility, which is why most owners hand the administration to their accountant.
What is a confirmation statement?
An annual filing that confirms your company's details at Companies House are correct — registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control. It is filed each year on your review date, and it is separate from your annual accounts.
When do company filings have to be made?
Private companies file their annual accounts with Companies House nine months after their year end, and the confirmation statement each year on the company's review date. Our key tax dates page sets out the full year of deadlines in one place.
What is a person with significant control?
Anyone who owns or controls more than 25% of a company. People with significant control have to be recorded on a public register at Companies House as part of company transparency rules, and kept up to date when things change.
What happens if a filing is late?
Missing Companies House filing deadlines brings automatic penalties, and the company's public record shows the filing as overdue. It is avoidable admin, which is exactly why we track the dates rather than leaving you to remember them.
Is company secretarial work included in your packages?
Yes. Every limited company package includes support with the Companies House paperwork — confirmation statements filed on time and the routine statutory filings that come with running a company.
