Companies House: choose the next compliance task
Start with the company's actual registered facts and the task you need to resolve. Accounts, confirmation statements, size qualification and company status are different questions, not one compliance score.
Use a guide to understand the supported case, then its companion tool for a checkable result. Confirm company-specific deadlines and accepted filings against Companies House records.
Establish accounts deadlines and dormancy facts
Check first or later accounts, registered ARD and changed-period facts before deciding whether a filing is late. Dormant companies still need their filing position checked.
Accounts Filing Deadline Calculator
Calculate the Companies House deadline for normal, first or valid shortened accounts periods using registered dates and the applicable filing rule.
Dormant Company Filing Deadline Calculator
Calculate a private dormant company's accounts filing deadline, distinguishing first accounts and valid shortened periods.
Accounts filing deadlines
Private companies and LLPs normally file accounts within nine calendar months of their registered accounting reference date; public companies have six. First accounts and valid shortened periods need additional rules.
Dormant company filing rules
Use this guide to separate dormant-company status from the still-important question of when dormant accounts are actually due.
Check the separate confirmation-statement cycle
Use the actual review-period end. If the deadline has passed, check the filing position separately from accounts penalties.
Confirmation Statement Deadline Calculator
Calculate the filing deadline from the known current review-period end and show the position on a date you choose.
Confirmation Statement Late Filing Checker
Check an entered confirmation-statement due date against a chosen date, with clearly labelled Obnexo operational triage bands.
Confirmation statement deadlines
This guide explains how confirmation statement deadlines follow the review period rather than a loose annual reminder habit.
Confirmation statement late filing
Learn what an overdue confirmation statement means in practice and why it should be treated as a live Companies House compliance issue.
Review company-size regimes
Micro and small-company tests have distinct scope, period/history and legal review conditions. A numerical screen is not a universal permission to file a particular set of accounts.
Micro-Entity Eligibility Checker
Screen current-regime twelve-month private-company figures against the micro size limits, then assess supplied size history separately. Group, exclusion and missing facts remain explicit review gates—not a final filing opinion.
Small Company Threshold Checker
Separate the two-out-of-three size test from supplied continuity, group and legal eligibility facts.
Micro-entity rules
Micro-entity treatment requires more than small figures. Understand the current £1 million / £500,000 / 10 limits, inclusive two-of-three test, consecutive-year history, transition, groups and statutory exclusions.
Small company thresholds
This guide explains the main small-company size tests and why a quick threshold screen is useful before deeper reporting analysis.
Resolve late accounts or review company-status steps
Once the accounts deadline is known, establish the statutory penalty and recovery workflow. Annual-accounts penalty appeals use a separate official procedure. Strike-off triage is not an official score; voluntary dissolution timing is not a prediction of registrar enforcement.
Companies House Late Filing Penalty Calculator
Estimate the standard annual accounts late filing penalty for a private company or LLP using the due date, effective filing date, and repeat-late filing status.
Companies House Strike-Off Risk Checker
Use four entered company facts to flag issues for review before voluntary strike-off; this is Obnexo triage, not a Companies House score.
Company Dissolution Timeline Calculator
Plan voluntary strike-off using actual application and Gazette dates without inventing a dissolution date.
Companies House late filing penalties
Understand how Companies House annual accounts late filing penalties are banded and why repeat late filing changes the amount.
Overdue accounts consequences
Confirm the real Companies House filing deadline, establish whether acceptable accounts are overdue, check the statutory penalty and resolve the filing problem. A practical workflow for accountants—not an enforcement prediction.
Appealing a Companies House late filing penalty
How to appeal a Companies House late-filing penalty for annual accounts: check the filing position, official grounds, evidence and review route. The decision belongs to Companies House; this guide does not predict success.
Company strike-off risks
This guide explains the facts that make a company look clean for strike-off versus the facts that make strike-off riskier or inappropriate.
Company dissolution process
This guide explains dissolution as a staged process so the company does not confuse a strike-off intention with an actual clean closure workflow.
Manage recurring work across client companies
Evaluate a tracker, structure a Google Sheets working view, review the portfolio and make handover information usable.
Companies House deadline tracking for accounting practices
Evaluate a tracker by the questions it helps your practice answer: what is in scope, what needs review and which date is driving the work.
How to structure a company compliance tracker in Google Sheets
Separate source information, working dates and practice decisions, then use clear spreadsheet controls and the current Obnexo workbook views.
How to track filing deadlines across multiple client companies
Run a repeatable weekly portfolio review: confirm scope, inspect source information, investigate exceptions and decide the next action.
Could your compliance workflow run for four weeks without you?
Test whether another authorised person can find the compliance position, understand uncertainty and identify what should happen next.
When this becomes repeated portfolio work
If these checks recur across many companies, keep verified source dates and internal action dates visible in a portfolio workflow. Obnexo's Google Sheets approach is for that repeated monitoring work, not a substitute for the individual official record.
