Understanding Confirmation Statement Filings (CS01)

Running a company isn't just about growth—it's about staying compliant. Every year, all UK-registered companies must confirm that their official records are accurate, transparent, and up to date. This is done through a Confirmation Statement (CS01) filing.

Think of it as your company's annual "health check" submitted to Companies House. It verifies that everything—from ownership to management structure—is correctly recorded. The CS01 replaced the old Annual Return, simplifying compliance and reducing errors.

What a Typical Filing Includes:
  • Shareholder information updates
  • Director and PSC (Person with Significant Control) details
  • Company records and registered office information
  • Beneficial ownership reporting
  • SIC codes (Standard Industrial Classification of business activity)
Key Information Required for Filing:
  • Company registration number
  • Registered office address
  • Director details
  • Shareholder information
  • PSC details
  • Shareholding structure (if updated)
  • SIC codes

What Can and Cannot Be Updated in CS01:

  • Can update: SIC codes, shareholder details, PSC information
  • Cannot update: Company name, incorporation date, company type

Filing a confirmation statement is not about changing your company data—it's about confirming that your existing records are accurate and legally compliant.

Why Confirmation Statement Filings Are Critical

Missing this one requirement can create serious consequences—fast.

Avoid costly penalties

Late or missed filings can lead to fines that keep increasing over time.

Protect your company from strike-off

Non-compliance can result in your business being removed from the register.

Maintain business credibility

Investors, banks, and partners rely on accurate public records.

Stay legally compliant

Directors are legally responsible for keeping company data updated.

Prevent operational disruptions

Non-compliance can block funding, partnerships, or expansions.

In short—this isn't just paperwork. It's a critical compliance checkpoint that protects your business, reputation, and future growth.

Confirmation Statement vs Annual Return — What You Need to Know

The confirmation statement (CS01) replaced the annual return in the UK to simplify compliance. While both report company information, there are key differences:

Annual Return:

Previously required full reporting of company details each year. More paperwork and manual verification.

Confirmation Statement:

Focuses on confirming existing information is correct. You don't need to re-submit unchanged data.

Why this matters:

  • Reduces filing errors and time spent on compliance
  • Helps businesses stay transparent with authorities
  • Ensures directors meet legal obligations without unnecessary administrative burden

Leadforce ensures your filings meet all requirements, whether you're submitting a CS01 or comparing your obligations with annual accounts.

Who Must Complete Confirmation Statement Filings (UK)

If you operate a UK-registered company, filing a confirmation statement is mandatory. Whether your business is actively trading or dormant, staying compliant protects your company's legal standing and credibility.

Limited Companies (UK -- CS01)
Every UK-registered limited company must submit a confirmation statement annually to confirm that details with Companies House—such as directors, shareholders, and PSCs—are accurate and up to date.
Startups & Small Businesses
Even newly formed companies must comply from day one. Early compliance prevents future penalties or regulatory issues.
Dormant Companies
Non-trading companies are still legally required to file to confirm no changes have occurred, keeping the company active and in good standing.
Companies with Non-UK Directors or Shareholders
UK-registered companies with international directors or shareholders are still responsible for submitting confirmation statements on time.

Key Takeaway: If your company is on the UK Companies House register, filing a confirmation statement is not optional—it's a legal obligation. Staying compliant safeguards your business, reputation, and ability to operate smoothly.

UK Confirmation Statement Filing Details

A Confirmation Statement (form CS01) is a mandatory annual filing for all UK companies and LLPs. It verifies that key information held at Companies House—such as registered office address, directors, shareholders, and SIC codes—is accurate and up to date. Filing must be completed at least once every 12 months, typically within 14 days of the review period.

Filing Methods

  • Online via Companies House WebFiling — The most common digital method. The current filing fee for a confirmation statement is £50.
  • Assisted Filing via Private Service Providers — Companies like Leadforce manage the entire submission process for a service fee, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind.

Information Checked During Filing

  • Registered office address
  • Company officers (directors, secretaries)
  • Share capital and shareholder details
  • Persons with Significant Control (PSC) register
  • SIC codes (business activity classification)

Key Requirements

  • Company number
  • Companies House WebFiling password
  • Authentication code (sent by post; allow up to 7 days to receive)
  • Verified company details before submission
