Frequently asked questions

What information can be updated using a confirmation statement?

A confirmation statement can be used to update the following information at Companies House:

  • SIC codes (principal business activities)
  • Shareholder changes that have occurred since the last confirmation statement
  • Changes to the statement of capital, since the filing of the last confirmation statement
  • Trading status of shares
  • Exemption from keeping a PSC register

Note: Changes to the registered office address, PSCs and company officers cannot be notified via a confirmation statement and instead must be reported using the relevant forms. Our team of company experts will be more than happy to file these changes at an additional charge.

If you are an existing customer and formed your company using 1st Formations, we will not require you to provide any information. We will send you a current company summary, which you should confirm as being correct or notify us of any changes.
