Filing Dormant Company Accounts at Companies House in the UK

As a UK Company Director, you are legally required to file accounts at Companies House every year - even if your company has never traded and has no income. Fail to do so and you face automatic fines, penalties and ultimately the risk of being disqualified as a director.

This course shows you exactly how to do it yourself, step by step, in under an hour.

Filing dormant accounts is not complicated once you know the process - but it is confusing if you have never done it before. Many directors pay an accountant £200-£500 or more every year simply to file a dormant return that takes minutes when you know how. This course pays for itself the first time you use it.

Here's what you'll cover:

The Legal Obligation -Understand what dormant means in the eyes of Companies House and HMRC, what you are required to file and by when, and what happens if you miss the deadline.

The Filing Process — Step by Step - Follow along as I walk you through logging into Companies House, completing the dormant accounts form, entering the figures and receiving your confirmation email.

Other Filing Scenarios - CIC dormant company filing, corporation tax filing with HMRC for a dormant company, and partnership filing via SA800.

This course covers limited companies (LTD), Community Interest Companies (CIC) and limited liability partnerships (LLP) - the three most common structures directors need help with.

Whether you are keeping a company name dormant for future use, holding a property through a company, or simply waiting for the right time to trade, this course gives you the confidence to handle your filing obligation yourself - without paying an accountant to do it for you.
