Company Secretarial Services in Glasgow

Every UK limited company has legal duties to Companies House beyond its accounts — the annual confirmation statement, director changes, share changes and the PSC register. QA FinTax's company secretarial service in Glasgow keeps all of these filed accurately and on time, so your company stays compliant and off the strike-off list.

Company secretarial is the compliance most owners forget, because unlike tax it has no obvious bill attached — until Companies House sends a warning, or freezes the company for failing to file. The filings are individually small but strictly deadlined and publicly visible, so errors are on the record for anyone to see. We take the whole obligation off your desk and make sure the public record of your company is accurate and current.

What Is a Confirmation Statement and When Is It Due?

The confirmation statement (form CS01) tells Companies House that your registered details — directors, registered office, shareholders and PSCs — are correct. Every company must file at least one every 12 months, even a dormant one.

Confirmation statement — deadlines and fees (from 1 February 2026)
Item	Detail
Frequency	At least once every 12-month review period
Filing deadline	Within 14 days of the end of the review period
Companies House fee — online	£50
Companies House fee — paper	£110

The online fee rose from £34 to £50 on 1 February 2026. Missing the statement is a criminal offence and can lead to the company being struck off the register.

Why Does Companies House Compliance Matter?

Companies House deadlines are strict and the consequences are real. Late or missing filings can see your company struck off, which freezes its bank accounts and can make directors personally exposed. Your filings are also public, so lenders, suppliers and customers can see them — an out-of-date or incorrect record reflects directly on your business.

Failure to file can lead to the company being struck off and dissolved
A struck-off company's assets, including its bank balance, pass to the Crown
Late accounts carry automatic penalties from £150 to £1,500
Everything filed is on the public register for anyone to inspect

Do You Offer a Registered Office Address?

Yes. If you run your business from home and would rather your address was not on the public register, we provide a Glasgow registered office address for your company. Statutory mail from Companies House and HMRC is received and forwarded to you promptly, keeping your home address private.
