Three steps, a few minutes

1

Find your company

Search by company number. We pull the registered name, address and accounting period straight from Companies House, so there's nothing to re-key.

2

Check the dormant accounts

We build the dormant balance sheet and the statements a dormant company needs. Review them before anything is sent.

3

Submit

Send the accounts to Companies House and, if HMRC needs one, a nil CT600. Acceptance normally comes back within minutes.
