The problem
Every limited company must file statutory accounts every year, in a specific format, by a fixed deadline – regardless of how the year actually went for the business. Missing it brings an automatic penalty.
What’s included
- Preparation of statutory annual accounts in the required format
- Filing with Companies House ahead of the deadline
- A plain-English summary of what the accounts show about the business
- Identification of anything that needs attention before next year
Who it’s for
Every UK limited company, without exception – this isn’t optional regardless of company size or trading activity.

FAQs
When are my company accounts due?
Companies House deadlines are set from your company’s year end and run independently of your Corporation Tax deadline. [Confirm current Companies House deadlines before publishing.]
What happens if I file late?
Companies House applies an automatic, escalating penalty for late accounts – it increases the longer they’re outstanding, and applies even if the company is dormant.
My company hasn’t traded yet – do I still need to file?
Yes, even a dormant company has to file accounts (in a simpler dormant format) and confirm its status with Companies House.
