more than just filing

missed your company accounts deadline?

Dormant company accounts may appear straightforward, but it's still important to make sure the correct information is being submitted and that your company's circumstances are properly understood.

We don't simply take your details and process a filing. We'll review the information you provide, check whether anything needs further attention and explain any issues before your accounts are prepared.

If you're unsure whether your company is actually dormant, whether something that happened during the year matters, or what you're required to file, you'll have an accountant you can speak to.

get your overdue company accounts sorted

Falling behind doesn't necessarily mean your business is disorganised. Records can become overdue for all sorts of reasons, a change of accountant, missing bookkeeping, unexpected business pressures or simply a filing deadline being overlooked.

We can help review the position, prepare your outstanding company accounts and deal with the accounting work required to bring your records up to date.

Where bookkeeping is incomplete or information is missing, we'll explain what we need and identify areas that may need attention before the accounts can be finalised.

We can also consider the related Corporation Tax position and help you understand any other accounting obligations that may need dealing with alongside your overdue accounts.

fallen behind on your bookkeeping too?

Sometimes overdue company accounts are only part of the problem.

If your bookkeeping hasn't been kept up to date, we can review the records available and help identify what needs to be completed before reliable year-end accounts can be prepared.

Once everything is brought up to date, ongoing bookkeeping support can make future year ends considerably easier by keeping your financial records organised throughout the year.

dormant accounts FAQ

Accountant choose us

does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant limited company will still have annual filing obligations with Companies House, even if it hasn't traded during the financial year. Being dormant doesn't automatically remove the requirement to keep the company's records and filings up to date. The type of accounts required will depend on the company's circumstances. We can review your position, explain what's due and prepare the appropriate dormant company accounts for you.

how do I know if my company is dormant?

Whether a company is dormant depends on the activity and accounting transactions that have taken place during the relevant financial period. Simply having little or no income doesn't necessarily mean that a company should automatically be treated as dormant. If you're unsure, tell us what has happened within the company during the year. We'll review the information provided and help you understand whether dormant accounts are appropriate or whether normal company accounts may be required.

how much do dormant company accounts cost?

Our dormant company accounts service starts from £125. The price will depend on your company's circumstances and whether any additional accounting work is required. Before starting, we'll establish what needs to be done and provide clear pricing so you understand the cost. Our service includes professional accounting support rather than simply processing a Companies House submission.

why use an accountant for dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts can sometimes be relatively straightforward, and some directors choose to deal with the filing themselves. However, questions can arise around whether the company genuinely qualifies as dormant, what needs to be reported and whether activity during the year affects its status. Using an accountant gives you someone who can review your circumstances, prepare the appropriate accounts and answer questions if something isn't straightforward. At Even Solutions Accountancy, we aim to make the process simple while giving you the reassurance of professional support.

what if there has been activity in my company?

If there has been activity or transactions within the company, let us know before the accounts are prepared. Depending on the nature of that activity, the company may no longer meet the relevant requirements for dormant accounts. We'll review what's happened and explain whether dormant accounts remain appropriate. If the company has started trading, we can instead help with full statutory company accounts and any related Corporation Tax requirements.

what happens if my dormant company accounts are overdue?

If your dormant company accounts haven't been submitted by the Companies House filing deadline, you shouldn't ignore the outstanding filing simply because the company isn't trading. Late filing can result in penalties and the accounts will still need to be dealt with. We can review what's outstanding, establish what information is required and help you work towards bringing the company's filing position back up to date.

can a dormant company start trading again?

Yes. A company that has been dormant can subsequently become active and begin trading. Once this happens, its accounting and tax responsibilities can change, so it's important to make sure the appropriate records and registrations are dealt with from the outset. If you're preparing to start trading, we can help you understand the accounting requirements and continue supporting you with company accounts, Corporation Tax, bookkeeping, VAT and payroll where applicable.

can you continue as my accountant once the company starts trading?

Yes. You don't need to find another accountant simply because your company becomes active. We can continue supporting your business as it develops, moving from dormant company accounts to the accounting services required by a trading limited company. This can include annual statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and ongoing accounting support depending on your needs.

what information do you need to prepare dormant company accounts?

We'll usually need basic information about the company and confirmation of what activity, if any, has taken place during the accounting period. Depending on the company's circumstances, we may ask for additional information or clarification before preparing the accounts. You don't need to work out exactly what documents are required before contacting us. We'll explain what we need based on your circumstances and guide you through the process.
