Definition
A confirmation statement (CS01) is filed at least annually to confirm that a company’s registered details — directors, shareholders, registered office, share capital and people with significant control — are correct.
In plain terms
It is a "yes, our details are still right" check-in, separate from your statutory accounts. It confirms information rather than reporting figures.
Why it matters for your company
Missing it can lead to your company being struck off the register — which freezes bank accounts and voids contracts. Keep filings current to stay creditworthy. See statutory accounts.
