The confirmation statement

What it confirms, how often it is due, and why it is not the same filing as the annual accounts.

Annual accounts and the filing deadline

Small company exemptions, and what happens to the company and its directors if the deadline passes.

The PSC register

Who counts as a person with significant control, and keeping the register accurate as ownership changes over time.

Acting as your own registered agent

What HMRC and Companies House expect a company to respond to, and how quickly they expect it.

Written for general guidance. Thresholds and deadlines differ by jurisdiction and change often, so check your own position with an advisor before acting on it.
