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.
A confirmation statement is your company’s annual confirmation statement, the CS01 filed at Companies House. It is the snapshot that confirms the key information on the public register remains accurate, including shareholders, persons with significant control, registered office, SIC code and statement of capital. Our team handles can help you ensure your CS01 is prepared and filed correctly and on time.
Our confirmation statement services are designed to remove the admin burden and reduce risk. We review your statutory records, check the public register for inconsistencies and verify whether any changes are required before filing. Where updates are needed, we prepare the necessary changes to officers, PSCs, SIC codes and share capital so that your statement is both accurate and compliant. We also advise on the impact of any transactions since the last review period, coordinate shareholder information where needed and keep you updated at every step so there are no surprises.
For clients who prefer a fully managed solution, we create a compliance timetable for your entities, monitor deadlines across group companies and undertake pre‑filing checks to make sure the information filed at Companies House mirrors your internal company registers. If issues arise, such as historic inconsistencies, we recommend corrective filings and help you regularise the position swiftly.
When you instruct us, we gather the latest details of your company, compare that information with Companies House data and identify any gaps. We then draft the confirmation statement, highlight any changes required and take your approval before submission. Once filed, we provide evidence of filing for your records and update you when the next review period is approaching. Where timing is critical, we can prioritise and file promptly so you stay within the statutory window.
Recent changes under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act introduced new requirements that affect many companies’ confirmation statements. Companies must now provide a registered email address for Companies House communications and confirm that the company’s intended future activities are lawful. There have also been fee changes at Companies House, with an increased government filing fee payable in addition to professional fees. Our team will incorporate these requirements into your filing, ensure your registered office is compliant and advise on any further steps needed where your company’s circumstances have changed.
Late filings, missing PSC updates and incorrect SIC codes are three common causes of compliance problems. Errors in the statement of capital or omissions when shares have been allotted or transferred can also create discrepancies that later delay transactions or due diligence. We help you avoid these by reconciling your internal registers against the public record, picking up issues ahead of the deadline and filing corrected information where appropriate. If a previous filing was inaccurate, we can prepare the necessary second filing to rectify the public record.
We support private companies limited by shares, companies limited by guarantee, community interest companies and LLPs that are required to file a confirmation statement. Whether you are a fast‑growing start‑up, an owner‑managed business or a group with multiple subsidiaries, we tailor our confirmation statement services to your needs and align the filing timetable across your portfolio so you remain compliant year‑round.
Your confirmation statement confirms the key company information on the public register; your annual accounts report the company’s financial performance. Both are mandatory, both have separate deadlines and both carry penalties if you miss them.
Yes. Even if nothing has changed, you must still file to confirm the information is correct. The CS01 is required for every review period.
If you discover a mistake after submission, we can prepare a corrective filing to amend the public record. Acting quickly helps avoid complications in future transactions or compliance checks.
The statutory Companies House filing fee is separate from professional fees and is payable on submission. We will confirm the current government fee and arrange payment as part of our service.
Yes. We manage filings across groups, synchronise review periods where possible and provide a single point of contact and reporting so directors have clear oversight of compliance across all entities.
