Dormant accounts are shorter and simpler than full statutory accounts, but accuracy still matters. Getting them wrong or filing late can trigger penalties and jeopardise your company’s good standing. We prepare and file your dormant accounts correctly and on time, and advise on any steps needed to keep your company officially dormant.
Whether you’ve registered a company to protect a name, paused trading, or you’re preparing to launch at a later date, our specialists will handle all the compliance, including the confirmation statement and any HMRC notifications that may be required to confirm your corporation tax status.

Dormant Company Accounts FAQs
-
What is a dormant company?
A company is dormant if it has had no significant accounting transactions in the financial year. Dormant companies still need to file accounts and keep statutory records up to date.
-
Do dormant companies still need to file accounts?
Yes. Dormant company accounts must be filed with Companies House every year. You may also need to confirm your corporation tax status with HMRC.
-
What happens if I file late?
Late filing can result in penalties from Companies House and can affect your company’s standing. We monitor deadlines and file on time to help you avoid fines.
-
Can I switch from dormant to trading later?
Absolutely. We’ll help you transition to trading status, set up bookkeeping, register for relevant taxes, and prepare full statutory accounts when required.
