Annual compliance plan for UK limited companies

One monthly price for the Companies House side of running a company: your registered office, your yearly confirmation statement, routine changes and identity verification, handled by our Edinburgh team.

In short: £49 a month, cancel any time, with the first month paid at checkout. The plan includes a registered office address (central London or central Edinburgh), your confirmation statement every year including the £50 Companies House fee, up to 4 routine changes a year, identity verification for directors and PSCs who need it, deadline reminders, scanning of official mail and priority support. Accounts are not included.

What's included

  • Your company's official address on the public register, where Companies House and HMRC send letters. Ours keeps your home address private; we scan and email your official mail.
  • Your company's official address on the public register, where Companies House and HMRC send letters. Ours keeps your home address private; we scan and email your official mail.
  • Confirmation statement prepared and filed every year
  • The government fee Companies House charges for this filing. It's already included in our price, so there's nothing extra to pay.
  • Your company's official address on the public register, where Companies House and HMRC send letters. Ours keeps your home address private; we scan and email your official mail.
  • Every director and person with significant control must verify their identity with Companies House. As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) we can do it for you remotely and give you your personal code.
  • Reminders before your confirmation statement and accounts deadlines
  • Scanning and emailing of official mail from Companies House and HMRC
  • Priority email and phone support
  • The legally required checks on the people behind a company (UK Money Laundering Regulations). We complete them as part of your order.

Who the plan is for

The plan suits owners of small UK limited companies who want the Companies House side handled without thinking about it. It works for new companies and for existing ones, whoever formed them. It is especially useful if you live abroad, run more than one company, or simply do not want to track deadlines.

What is included

  • Registered office address. A central London address for companies registered in England and Wales, or a central Edinburgh address for companies registered in Scotland. The full address is confirmed after your order and identity checks. If your company is registered in Northern Ireland, contact us before ordering.
  • Confirmation statement every year. We review your records, prepare the statement and file it, including the £50 Companies House fee.
  • Up to 4 routine changes a year. Appointing or removing a director, changing the registered office, updating people with significant control (PSCs), or changing your SIC code or registered email address.
  • Identity verification. We verify directors and PSCs who need it, as a Companies House Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP).
  • Deadline reminders for your confirmation statement and your accounts.
  • Official mail. Letters from Companies House and HMRC that arrive at your registered office are scanned and emailed to you.
  • Priority support by email and phone, in 7 languages.

What is not included

Annual accounts and tax returns are not part of the plan. We remind you of the accounts deadline, but preparing and filing the accounts is a separate service: see Dormant Company Accounts for companies that have not traded, or Annual Accounts and Company Tax Return for trading companies. Share issues and transfers, name changes and non-routine work are also quoted separately.

How it compares with buying separately

Our separate prices are £250 a year for a registered office address, £190 for a confirmation statement, £95 to £100 for each routine change, and £75 per person for identity verification. The plan costs £588 a year (12 × £49).

To be honest about it: if all you need is a registered office and one confirmation statement, buying them separately (£440) costs less. The plan starts to cost less than buying separately once you add one routine change and one identity check, or two changes, in a year. It also spreads the cost into small monthly payments and gives you priority support.

No surprises

  • You pay £49 a month. The first month is paid at checkout.
  • There is no minimum term. Cancel any time and the plan ends at the end of the month you have paid for.
  • Everything listed above is included, with no extra charge for it. If you ask for something outside the plan, we tell you the price before we start.
  • If you cancel, you will need a new registered office address. We remind you so the change can be filed before the service ends.

How it works

  1. Choose the plan and pay the first month.
  2. We complete identity and anti-money-laundering checks for you and your company.
  3. We file the change of registered office to our address, if you are using it.
  4. We check your record, tell you who still needs identity verification and complete it.
  5. From then on we send reminders, scan your official mail and file the confirmation statement each year after you confirm the details.

Why use a hands-on team

We are a small team in Edinburgh. We check your record against what you tell us, spot problems before Companies House does and fix rejected filings. We cannot give legal or tax advice on your situation; where you need it, we will say so and suggest you speak to an accountant or lawyer.
