Companies House
Our reminder service tells companies when their accounts and confirmation statement are due for filing. Analysis shows email reminders are more successful than paper reminders.
Companies who have switched to email reminders are more likely to file on time and, as a result, are less likely to get a penalty for filing their accounts late.
Our email reminder service is free and has many advantages over the paper system. You can:
- choose up to 4 people to receive a reminder (including an agent)
- file your document immediately from a link within the reminder
- receive reminders more conveniently
- use less paper, contributing to saving the environment
We recommend all companies register for the email reminder service. We intend to withdraw paper reminders in the future as part of our aim to become a fully-digital organisation.
