Companies House forms for limited companies

Below is the list of new Companies House forms for limited companies introduced by the Companies Act 2006. all companies must use these forms to notify Companies House of any notifiable events from 1 October 2009.

Confirmation statement

Companies House will reject your company’s Confirmation Statement if you have changed your company details but no relevant Companies House form was filed for the change.

For example, you have recently changed your company registered office address to your home address. You specify your home address as your company registered office address in your confirmation statement but Companies House records have your old registered office address and did not receive the form AD01 from you. then your confirmation statement will be rejected.

Also, Companies House would reject incorrect or incomplete forms. Click here for the common errors made by applicants when writing their company names on the Companies House forms.
