Every UK limited company must file a confirmation statement with Companies House at least once every 12 months — no exceptions, regardless of whether your company traded, made a profit, or changed anything during the year. Missing the deadline or filing inaccurate information can result in a financial penalty, a strike-off notice, or both. This service handles the entire process on your behalf, with the Companies House filing fee already included in the price. Form My Company is a Companies House Authorised Agent, which means your confirmation statement is prepared accurately and submitted through a verified channel — not left to chance on a self-service portal.

What the File a Confirmation Statement Service Includes

This service is available in two options, depending on your situation and timeline. The Confirmation Statement Service (£94.99 + £10 VAT) covers expert preparation and filing at standard pace. The Confirmation Statement Express (£104.99 + £10 VAT) guarantees filing within 24 hours on working days — the right choice if your due date is approaching or has already passed.

Confirmation Statement Service — £94.99 + £10 VAT

A confirmation statement — formerly known as the annual return — is the document through which a UK limited company confirms to Companies House that the information held on the public register is accurate as of a specific date, known as the confirmation date. Under section 853A of the Companies Act 2006, every company must deliver a confirmation statement to Companies House within 14 days of the end of each review period, which runs annually from either the date of incorporation or the date of the last confirmation statement. The statement must confirm or update details, including the registered office address, the nature of business (SIC code), the details of directors and persons with significant control, and the company’s statement of capital if shares have been issued. Getting any of these details wrong — or filing late — has real consequences on the public record.

What you receive with this service is full preparation and submission of your confirmation statement by Form My Company’s filing team, with the Companies House filing fee of £34 included in the total price. You do not need to log in to WebFiling, locate your authentication code, or work out which fields need updating since your last filing. Our team handles all of that. Once filed, you receive confirmation that the statement has been accepted, and your company’s review period resets for another 12 months. For most small company owners, this is the one annual filing they most need to get off their plate — and this service does exactly that.

Confirmation Statement Express — £104.99 + £10 VAT

The Express service is the same expert preparation and filing, but with a guaranteed turnaround of within 24 hours on working days. This matters because the confirmation statement deadline is fixed. Companies House allows 14 days from the end of your review period to file, and once that window closes, the company is technically in default. A confirmation statement that is even one day late will show on the public register — which can affect your company’s standing with lenders, suppliers, and anyone running a credit or compliance check. If your deadline is close or if you have already missed it, the standard service turnaround may not be fast enough.

With the Express service, you pay £104.99 plus £10 VAT, and your confirmation statement is filed within one working day of you providing the required details. The £10 difference over the standard service buys you certainty — specifically, the certainty that the filing will be done before another day passes. Form My Company processes express filings as a priority, which means your details are reviewed, the statement is prepared, and the submission reaches Companies House without delay. If you have recently made changes to your board — for example, following a director appointment or director resignation — the Express service ensures those changes are captured and confirmed in the statement before your deadline expires.

Is the File a Confirmation Statement Service Right for You?

Your company’s confirmation statement is due — or it is coming up within the next few weeks — and you have either forgotten to file it yourself, do not have time to work through the WebFiling system, or are not confident that the information on your company’s register is accurate enough to confirm without a professional review. You want it done properly, with the filing fee included and no unexpected charges at checkout. If that sounds like you, Form My Company makes it straightforward.

What Happens After You Buy

  1. We collect your company details. You provide your company number and any changes to your register since the last filing — our team takes it from there.
  2. Your confirmation statement is prepared. We review the current information held at Companies House against the details you provide and prepare the statement accurately.
  3. Statement filed with Companies House. We submit directly to Companies House as your Authorised Agent, with the filing fee covered as part of your service.
  4. Acceptance confirmed. Companies House processes the filing and issues acceptance — your review period resets for another 12 months from the confirmation date.
  5. Confirmation sent to you. You receive proof of filing for your records, so you have documentary evidence the obligation has been met.

Most filings submitted through Form My Company are processed by Companies House within three working hours.

Why Choose Form My Company

Filing a confirmation statement looks simple — until you realise the SIC code on your register is outdated, a director’s service address has changed, or your PSC details were never updated after a share transfer. Having handled statutory filings for over 15,000 companies, we know exactly where these discrepancies hide and how to resolve them before the statement is submitted. That accuracy is what keeps your public record clean and your filing accepted the first time.

Companies House Authorised Agent

Authorised Agent status means Companies House has formally verified our identity and our filing processes. This is not a description any company can self-apply — it is a recognised standing that creates real accountability. Unregistered filing services have none of that accountability; if their submission contains an error or is rejected, the obligation and any resulting penalty remain entirely yours. Filing through Form My Company means you are protected by a verified agent whose processes Companies House has signed off.

Transparent Pricing, No Surprises

The standard Confirmation Statement Service costs £94.99 plus £10 VAT. The Express service costs £104.99 plus £10 VAT. Both prices include the Companies House filing fee of £34, which many competitors charge on top of their service fee. What you see at checkout is what you pay. There is no separate disbursement invoice, no platform fee, and no charge if we need to resubmit following a Companies House query.

Your Information Is Safe

All company and personal data provided through this service is handled in full compliance with UK GDPR. Information is processed securely and is not retained beyond what is required to complete the filing. If Companies House rejects the submission for any reason, Form My Company resubmits at no additional cost to you.

File Your Confirmation Statement Today

A missed confirmation statement deadline is one of the most avoidable compliance failures a limited company can have — and one of the most visible, because it shows on the public register. Both service options include the Companies House filing fee, with the standard service from £94.99 plus £10 VAT and the Express option at £104.99 plus £10 VAT for same-working-day filing. If your due date is approaching, do not leave it any longer — get it filed today.
