Confirmation statement
Every company must file a confirmation statement at least once a year, within 14 days of the end of its 12-month review period.
Who it applies to
Every limited company and LLP, active or dormant.
What has to happen
The statement confirms that the information on the public register is correct: registered office, officers, shareholders, share capital, people with significant control and SIC codes. Changes are filed separately; the statement confirms them. A fee is payable with it.
If you miss it
There is no automatic penalty, but not filing is a criminal offence for the directors and Companies House can start striking the company off the register. Source: gov.uk and Companies House guidance, checked September 2026.
What to do
The review date is on your company's Companies House page. Buzz files it as part of company secretarial work.
