Companies holding dormant status are only required to submit a simplified form of accounts to Companies House. These simplified accounts, known as dormant company accounts, offer a significant advantage by alleviating the statutory obligation to file profit and loss accounts along with a director’s report.

we’ll need your company name and number, webfiling authentication code, details on shares paid or unpaid, and the name of at least one director.

Accounts must be filed with Companies House at least once every 12 months.

A dormant company refers to a newly established company that hasn’t commenced trading yet or an existing company that hasn’t engaged in any trading activities within the current financial year. This means it has had “no significant accounting transactions” during that period.

With our Express Service, we can prepare and file dormant company accounts with Companies House within 24 hours (1 working day), provided we receive all the necessary information.

Alternatively, our Standard Service typically takes up to 6 working days for the same process, again contingent upon receiving all required details.

To ensure timely filing, we advise ordering the service at least 5 working days before the due date.

Please be aware that we cannot be held responsible for any late filing penalties or fines resulting from delayed orders or incomplete information.
