What is a Confirmation Statement?

A confirmation statement is a snapshot of the management and ownership of the limited company.

When you form a UK limited company at Companies House there are certain obligations you must perform each year to ensure the company is compliant. One of these obligations is to prepare and submit a confirmation statement each year.

Due on the anniversary of the company's incorporation, a confirmation statement provides a snapshot of the management and ownership of the company as at the date it's made up to. It also provides an opportunity to make any amendments to incorrect information.

The confirmation statement must be submitted each year, together with a filing fee of £13. Failure to do so, can carry a penalty and risk the company being closed down.
