Confirmation statements, Companies House filings, director and shareholder changes and registered office support from a chartered accountancy practice based in Dagenham.
Every limited company registered in England and Wales has ongoing statutory obligations beyond accounts and tax. These include filing an annual confirmation statement, notifying Companies House of changes to directors, shareholders and the registered office, and maintaining accurate statutory records.
Failing to meet these obligations results in penalties and, in serious cases, can lead to a company being struck off the register. Many of these requirements are easy to overlook when you are focused on running a business day to day.
At Qestor, we manage company secretarial obligations for limited companies, making sure all statutory filings are made accurately and on time and that your Companies House record is kept up to date.
Every limited company must file a confirmation statement with Companies House at least once every 12 months. The confirmation statement confirms that the information Companies House holds about your company is accurate and up to date.
We prepare and file your confirmation statement each year, reviewing your company details and making sure the filing is submitted before the deadline.
When a director is appointed or resigns, or when shares are transferred or new shares are issued, Companies House must be notified within a set timeframe.
We prepare and file the required forms on your behalf, making sure changes are recorded accurately and within the statutory deadline.
Beyond accounts and confirmation statements, limited companies may need to file a range of documents with Companies House at various points, including changes to the company's name, registered office, articles of association or share structure.
We manage these filings on your behalf and advise when a filing is required.
Every limited company must have a registered office address in England and Wales. The registered office is the address to which HMRC, Companies House and other official bodies send statutory correspondence.
We can provide a registered office address at our Dagenham office for clients who need one, ensuring that statutory correspondence is received and dealt with appropriately.
Limited companies are required to maintain certain statutory registers, including a register of members, a register of directors and a register of persons with significant control.
We help clients keep these records accurate and up to date in line with their legal obligations.
Our company secretarial services are relevant to the following types of clients.
Every limited company in England and Wales has statutory obligations that must be met each year. We manage these on your behalf so nothing is missed.

If your company is appointing new directors, issuing shares, changing its name or making other structural changes, we manage the filing process and make sure Companies House is notified correctly.
Missing Companies House deadlines results in automatic penalties and can affect your company's standing on the public register.
