Late confirmation statement? Here’s what to do

[@bfharb]

Thanks. I’m new company owner, and these videos are extremely useful for me.

Really insightful video, thanks Nicholas :) It's easy to forget your confirmation statement is due when your company is dormant but so important!

[@1stformations]

You are absolutely right, even dormant companies carry an obligation to submit their Confirmation Statement every year. We can, however, send you a reminder when it is due so that you never miss a deadline!

[@douglaschown]

Never knew you had to submit a confirmation statement for a dormant company - thanks for the advice!

[@1stformations]

Thank you for your feedback, Douglas! Is there anything else you would like us to cover?

[@1stformations]

Yes, we certainly do. We can send you reminders over email letting you know that your Confirmation Statement is due, so that you never miss a deadline!

[@paultavener1544]

Great video, do I still need to file if I am going to dissolve my company?

[@1stformations]

Thanks for your comment and great question! It is always good practice to file a confirmation statement even if your company is in the process of closing. However, once Companies House have received your application to dissolve your company, you are no longer required to file a confirmation statement. What would you like to see on the channel next?

I really needed to see this video! I am always ‘overdue’ on Companies’ House when it comes to my Confirmation Statement! How much do you charge for your service and can I get a yearly reminder that it is due from you?

[@1stformations]

We are glad that you found this video useful. Our Confirmation Statement service is £34.99 + VAT and we can absolutely send you yearly reminders that it is due! We will also send you reminders when your Annual Accounts are due, so that you never miss a deadline.

Did you get fined for it being overdue? What happened?

[@abbieoneill9133]

Very helpful, thank you!!!!!

[@1stformations]

Thanks for your kind comment Abbie - is there anything else you would like us to cover?

[@progressivepath1995]

What it doesn’t cover is the timeframes for stages when late, surely you wouldn’t be struck off and prosecuted after say just a week?.

[@1stformations]

Thank you for your comment. Usually Companies House will start an active proposal to strike off (close down the company) within one month of the confirmation statement due date, and the company would then be closed down within 3 to 5 months (depending on Companies House workload) if the company does nothing to intervene in the meantime. Do you have a company with this potential problem?

In answer to your question I would find it very helpful if you could cover the differences between the addresses services you provide for companies , officers, PSCs, etc. I think this subject is quite tricky and would be an ideal topic for a video.

So this is basically the same thing as the old annual return, yeah?

[@1stformations]

Hi Andrew. Yes, the Confirmation Statement replaced the Annual Return in June 2016! Is there anything else that you would like to know?

[@darkdancer1983]

What happens if someone files a confirmation statement with incorrect information?

[@1stformations]

That is no problem at all Peter! If incorrect information is provided in a Confirmation Statement, it should be re-submitted using the relevant section of Companies House form CS01alongside the form RP04. The RP04 form is used to notify Companies House of a second filing of a document that was properly delivered but contains inaccuracies which are showing on the public register!

If you never filed a late confirmation statement you probably never had a company 😂😂😂 I have a feeling companies House might be worried if they see one on time by my company

Hey Tommaso, to avoid scaring Companies House in the future I would highly recommend our Confirmation Statement service so we can arrange the filing of your annual confirmation statement in a compliant and timely manner. :)
