Confirmation statement

Companies House requires all company directors to complete their company's confirmation statements in full and on time. Although there is no fine for late filing, failure to file on time is a criminal offence and directors can be personally fined for non-compliance. Companies House may also seek to remove your company from its register for non-compliance.

Your confirmation declaration must contain the following information:

  • Head office address
  • Shareholders
  • Business sector (as expressed in Standard Industrial
  • Classification (SIC) codes)
  • Amount of issued share capital
  • Shareholder(s)
  • Officers within your company who are considered to be a
  • person exercising significant control (PSC)

All limited liability companies are required to declare their PSC(s). A PSC is a person who owns more than 25% of the shares or voting rights in your company. A PSC can also appoint or remove the majority of directors on the board of directors. Alternatively, a PSC may simply exercise "significant influence or control", according to HMRC.
