Common items checked include directors and secretaries, registered office address, registered email address (mandatory since March 2024), shareholders, share capital, and SIC codes describing the nature of business.
Every entity registered at Companies House whether trading, dormant, or recently incorporated must file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months. Filing is a legal requirement under section 853A of the Companies Act 2006, and there is no exemption based on size, turnover, or activity.

Active limited companies
Active limited companies file a confirmation statement annually to confirm directors, shareholders, PSC details, and registered office. The statement is filed in addition to annual accounts and the corporation tax return, on a separate deadline.
Dormant
Dormant limited companies
