Companies House Filing Service - UK Company Compliance Support

A Companies House filing service helps UK companies keep their statutory information up to date and submit required documents correctly and on time. Professional filing support can be useful for directors who want to reduce administrative work and maintain ongoing company compliance.

Companies must provide information to Companies House throughout the life of the business, including annual accounts, confirmation statements and changes to company details.

What does a Companies House filing service cover?

Depending on the provider, a Companies House filing service can assist with:

• Confirmation statements

• Annual accounts filing

• Director appointments and changes

• PSC updates

• Registered office changes

• Company name changes

• Share capital updates

• Changes to company details

• Other statutory company filings

Companies House allows many of these filings to be completed online or through approved commercial software.

Confirmation statement filing

Every UK company, including dormant and non-trading companies, must file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. The statement confirms that the information held by Companies House remains accurate.

Companies should also update information such as directors, PSCs, registered office and registered email address when changes occur.

A professional filing service can review the company's information before submission and help ensure the relevant details are updated.

Annual accounts filing

Companies generally need to file annual accounts with Companies House even when they are dormant or not trading. The accounts must be approved by the company's directors before filing.

Directors remain responsible for ensuring the company's accounts are prepared and filed correctly, even when an accountant or filing agent handles the submission.

Companies should also be aware that from 1 April 2028, all companies will be required to file annual accounts using commercial software.

Filing changes to company information

Companies House filing services can also help businesses report changes during the year rather than waiting for the next confirmation statement.

Changes may include appointing or removing directors, changing the registered office, updating PSC information, changing the company name or updating share capital.

Keeping these records current is important because Companies House information is publicly available and may be used by customers, lenders, investors and other businesses.

Companies House filing for overseas business owners

A professional filing service can be particularly useful for international entrepreneurs who operate UK companies from overseas.

Overseas directors and shareholders may need assistance managing UK filing deadlines, Companies House records, identity verification and ongoing corporate administration.

Fraser Bond can provide practical guidance for UK and international clients dealing with company administration and Companies House compliance.

Why use professional filing support?

Managing multiple Companies House requirements can become difficult when a business has several directors, changes in ownership or complex corporate arrangements.

A professional service can help with filing schedules, document preparation and submission, while giving directors a clearer view of their ongoing compliance responsibilities.

However, using an agent does not transfer the director's legal responsibility for the company's compliance.
