Confirmation Statement Filing for UK Companies
Confirmation statement filing for UK companies is required each year to confirm company details at Companies House. We review your record, update changes instructed during the year, and file after approval.
Sterling Crest Accountants provides this service remotely to clients across the United Kingdom as an online UK accountant. Consultations are by phone or video call. The Leeds address is the registered office and is not a walk-in office.
About confirmation statements
The confirmation statement is not accounts. It confirms registered office, officers, share capital and PSC information on the public register.
We compare your instructions and secretarial records to the Companies House snapshot before filing. Outstanding share or officer changes should be filed first or included as part of the review.
Filing is electronic using your authentication credentials where we act. You receive confirmation once accepted.
We can align reminders with annual accounts work so both statutory tasks are visible on one timeline when we handle both.
