Companies House deadlines, explained for practices
Short, checkable, and linked to the source every time. We describe what the guidance says and we point at where it says it. We do not give legal or tax advice, because you are the adviser and we are not.
Verified as a director but not as a PSC
The most missed step in the whole regime. One identity check, two separate codes, quoted straight from Companies House with the link so you can check it in thirty seconds.
Which 14 day window applies, and to whom
Confirmation statement date if the person is also a director, birth month if they are not. Two rules, completely different dates, with the worked examples.
Tracking deadlines across a whole client book
Why the spreadsheet always drifts, why this is a chasing problem rather than a data problem, and what an outsourced weekly watch costs.
Confirmation statement deadlines across a book
Every company on its own date, the date moving when an early statement is filed, and the second obligation it now triggers.
North and East London practices
Why an owner managed book in this part of London is more exposed to the PSC gap than a book weighted towards larger corporates.
The free filing status report
Send client company numbers, get one page back inside 48 hours showing exactly where your book stands. No charge, no obligation, no logins.
What we do and do not do. Director Filing Desk is not an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, an accountancy firm, a filing agent or a company secretary. We do not carry out identity checks and we never will. We watch a list of company numbers on behalf of accountancy practices, spot what is due, and chase the people who have not acted. Nothing here is legal or tax advice. Always confirm the current position at GOV.UK.
