Keep your Companies House records accurate and current

Who this service is for

This service is for Birmingham companies that want their statutory filings kept in order without having to track every deadline themselves. It suits busy directors of active companies, holders of dormant companies that still need to stay compliant, and owners who have let a confirmation statement or a change of details slip and want the record put right. If you would rather someone reliable dealt with the Companies House routine while you get on with the business, this is designed for you.

How we can help

We look after the recurring administrative side of running a company at Companies House: the confirmation statement, changes to officers and addresses, and the basic registers that underpin them. We keep an eye on your filing dates and prompt you before they fall due, so obligations are met on time rather than in a rush. Where a task moves beyond routine filing, into complex share rights, shareholder disputes, restructuring or legal agreements, we are clear that this is a solicitor’s work, and we will tell you plainly when that point has been reached.

What’s included

• Preparing and filing your confirmation statement to keep the public record current
• Recording changes to the registered office address
• Filing director appointments and resignations
• Updating officers’ details when they change, such as a change of address
• Keeping people-with-significant-control information up to date
• Administering straightforward share allotments
• Maintaining the basic statutory registers
• Sending filing reminders so deadlines are met on time
• Handling a change of company name where you decide to make one
• Supporting dormant companies with their routine compliance filings
• Storing your key company documents securely so they are easy to find

How it works

1. We review your company’s current details at Companies House and note what is due.
2. We agree the scope in writing, so it is clear which filings we handle and which need a solicitor.
3. We set up reminders for your recurring obligations, such as the confirmation statement.
4. As changes happen, you tell us the details and we prepare and file them at Companies House.
5. We confirm each filing back to you and keep your registers and stored documents up to date.

What we’ll need from you

To keep your record accurate we need prompt notice of any change (a new director, a resignation, a change of address, a share allotment or a change of the people with significant control) together with the effective dates. For dormant companies we need confirmation that no trading has taken place. Telling us about changes as they happen, rather than at the year end, lets us keep the public record current and avoid late filings.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Letting the confirmation statement lapse and falling out of good standing
• Forgetting to update the register when a director or address changes
• Leaving people-with-significant-control details inaccurate on the public record
• Treating a dormant company as having no filing obligations at all
• Attempting complex share changes as if they were routine, without legal advice
• Keeping statutory registers loosely, so they no longer reflect the company
