Professional Annual Confirmation Statement Submission for UK Companies — Accurate, Timely, and Fully Compliant
Every company registered in the UK is legally required to file a Annual Confirmation Statement at least once every 12 months. While it may appear to be a simple submission, it is a crucial statutory obligation that ensures Companies House has an accurate snapshot of your company’s structure, ownership, and key data.
A single mistake, outdated entry, or missed deadline can lead to financial penalties, compliance issues, or even the striking off of your company from the register.
At Audit Consulting Group, we provide a complete, end-to-end service for preparing and submitting Annual Confirmation Statements with precision, clarity, and full compliance. Whether your business is a startup, SME, holding company or multi-shareholder organisation, our team ensures your corporate information is correct, up-to-date, and properly recorded.
We manage the entire process for you, ensuring peace of mind and eliminating administrative burdens. Our goal is to protect your company’s legal standing while making compliance simple and stress-free.
What a Annual Confirmation Statement Really Does — And Why It Matters
Many business owners misunderstand the purpose of a Annual Confirmation Statement. It does not replace annual accounts or tax returns; instead, it confirms essential company information, including:
Company officers
Directors, secretaries, and any changes throughout the year.
Registered office address
To ensure official notices reach the right location.
Shareholders and shareholdings
Accurate records of ownership and any changes since the last statement.
Share capital
Issued share capital, updates, and structural changes.
Persons with Significant Control (PSC)
Ensuring transparency and ownership clarity.
SIC codes
Reflecting the company’s business activities.
A properly filed Annual Confirmation Statement maintains your company’s transparency, protects your corporate record, and ensures you remain legally compliant.
