If your company is dormant — meaning it has had no significant accounting transactions during a financial year — you still need to submit annual accounts to Companies House.
With Form My Company, you can file your dormant company accounts quickly, accurately, and without any hassle.

We handle the paperwork for you, so you stay compliant and avoid penalties, allowing you to focus on your business or other ventures.


What Are Dormant Company Accounts?

A dormant company is a company that has no significant financial transactions in its accounting period, except for certain allowed fees (like filing fees paid to Companies House).

Even if your company has not traded, UK law requires you to file annual accounts with Companies House. Filing dormant accounts is simpler than full accounts, but missing the deadline can have serious consequences.

Dormant company accounts typically include:

  • Balance sheet (showing no trading activity)

  • Statement of capital and shareholder information (if applicable)

  • Director’s confirmation that the company has remained dormant
