Frequently asked questions
What are dormant company accounts?
Dormant company accounts are simplified financial statements filed with Companies House for companies that have had no significant financial transactions during the financial year. They are simpler and cheaper to prepare than full accounts.
Does my dormant company still need to file accounts?
Yes. Even if your company has been dormant, you are still legally required to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House. Failure to do so can result in fines and ultimately the company being struck off.
How quickly will my dormant accounts be filed?
For companies that have never traded, we aim to prepare and file dormant accounts within two business days. If your company has previously traded and is now dormant, the process may take longer — we advise contacting us 5–7 business days before your due date.
What if my company has previously traded?
If your company traded in a prior year but was dormant in the most recent financial year, it may still qualify to file dormant accounts — provided there were no significant transactions. Our accountants will review your situation and advise you accordingly.
What is the filing deadline for dormant accounts?
For private limited companies, annual accounts must be filed within 9 months of the end of your accounting reference period. We recommend not leaving it until the last minute to avoid late filing penalties.
Can I file dormant accounts myself?
Yes, Companies House does allow directors to file dormant accounts directly through their online service. However, our professional service ensures the filing is accurate, completed on time, and includes expert guidance if your situation is complex.
