FAQ
Company secretarial services: frequently asked questions
Does a private company need a company secretary?
No. Private companies have not needed one since 2008, but the directors remain responsible for the secretarial duties.
What is a confirmation statement?
It confirms that the information Companies House holds about your company is correct. It must be filed at least once every 12 months.
What happens if we miss a filing?
Late filings can lead to penalties, and a company that does not file its confirmation statement risks being struck off the register.
