UK Company Confirmation Statement
If you operate a company in the United Kingdom (UK), then you need to know all about a UK Company Confirmation Statement. The Companies House UK requires this confirmation statement from businesses annually.
What Is A UK Company Confirmation Statement
This is a statement that gives the relevant authorities a snapshot of what the company’s information is at the time the statement is issued. Relevant authorities like the Companies House, Financial Conduct Agency, credit reference agencies, regulatory bodies, HM Revenue & Customs, and the Serious Fraud Office, for example, require a company’s information to be accurate and up-to-date.
Previously, this statement was called an annual return. When preparing your UK confirmation statement, you must include pertinent details. These are your registered office address, share capital, and details of your directors and shareholders.
Is A UK Company Confirmation Statement Important?
Yes, this statement is very important if you operate a business in the UK. The UK insists that companies maintain their transparency and integrity for the UK’s corporate register. Therefore, your business records must always be reliable and recent. Investors, regulators, stakeholders, and creditors will all be looking at this information.
