You can easily review and change the information on your next confirmation statement through the platform.
All UK limited companies need to submit a confirmation statement every 12 months. The purpose of this is to confirm the information held by Companies House is correct.
In addition to verifying the company address, Directors, and PSC's, the confirmation statement also includes a list of the company's shareholders and their shareholdings as well as any transfers that have been made since the last statement.
Each confirmation statement will start a new 12 month review period with a new statement needing to be submitted before this period ends.
Confirmation statements are typically sent once a year on the anniversary of the companies incorporation, although a statement can be submitted at any point within the review period up to a maximum of once a day.
If you do send out a confirmation statement before the anniversary of your last one, your next statement will be due on the anniversary of the last statement sent, so the date on which Companies House expects a statement from you will change.
When it is getting close to the time of your next confirmation statement, you will receive a reminder email from us. This email will have a link to your company's Confirmation Statement page.
If you want to find it yourself, just log onto the platform and go to 'Secretarial & admin' > 'Confirmation statements'.
That will take you to the Confirmation Statements page, which will look like this:
Underneath will be a list of your previous Confirmation Statements, this will tell you when Companies House will expect your next Confirmation Statement.
Clicking View and submit a new statement will take you to this page, which it is your responsibility to review:
