Every Community Interest Company must file an annual confirmation statement with Companies House, and missing that deadline can be costly. Our Community Interest Company CIC confirmation statement filing service means your registered details stay accurate, your filing is handled by qualified CIC accountants, and you never miss the 14 day window again, all for a clear, fixed fee.
Rather than leaving you to log in to a confusing Companies House portal, our annual filing service brings everything together. We check your registered details, prepare the statement and submit it on time, so your CIC stays fully compliant.
We check the details Companies House holds for your CIC, including directors, registered office, people with significant control and the statement date, before anything is filed.
Our accountants complete the annual confirmation statement accurately, confirming that every answer is correct and consistent with your CIC records before submission.
We submit the CIC confirmation statement online well before the 14 day deadline, using approved software, and keep the filing receipt on file for your records.
We track your confirmation statement date and remind you when the next annual filing falls due, so a busy year never turns into a missed deadline or a fine.
When directors, shareholders or persons with significant control change, we help you capture those updates so the statement stays accurate and compliant.
Alongside the statement we remind you about your CIC34 report, annual accounts and corporation tax, so your CIC stays on top of every Companies House and HMRC obligation.
We keep the annual routine simple. Each year we follow the same proven route to make sure your Community Interest Company confirmation statement is prepared and filed correctly.

See how we structure our fixed feesThese are the questions we answer most often about Community Interest Company confirmation statement filing. Every answer reflects the real cases we handle throughout the year.
A Community Interest Company CIC confirmation statement filing service covers preparing, reviewing and submitting the annual confirmation statement to Companies House. It keeps your CIC's registered details accurate, avoids late filing penalties and confirms that your company remains compliant.
A CIC must file a confirmation statement every year within 14 days of its confirmation statement date, which is the anniversary of incorporation or of its last statement. Missing this deadline can lead to a £500 penalty or, in the worst case, the company being struck off.
If a Community Interest Company does not file its confirmation statement on time, Companies House can issue a financial penalty of up to £500 and, for repeat failures, start proceedings to strike the CIC off the register. Our accountants prevent this by filing every year on your behalf.
The Companies House confirmation statement filing fee is £13 online or £62 on paper. On top of this there is a fixed accountancy fee for preparing and submitting the statement, which we quote before any work begins. We never add surprise charges.
Yes. A CIC accountant or agent can prepare and file the confirmation statement on your behalf using authorised software. We handle the whole process for you, confirm the details with the CIC's directors and make sure it is submitted well before the deadline.
No. The confirmation statement is an annual Companies House filing that confirms your CIC's registered details are up to date. The CIC34 is a separate community interest report filed with the CIC Regulator. Both are annual obligations, and we can prepare and file both for you.

We are qualified accountants who understand how a Community Interest Company is run, taxed and reported on once it is active. Every client has a dedicated accountant who oversees their filing work from start to finish, so the person preparing your confirmation statement knows your CIC and its officers personally.
The most common reason a CIC runs into trouble is simply a late or missing annual filing. In our experience, companies that use a dedicated accountant for their confirmation statement and annual accounts almost never face a Companies House penalty, because the filing is prepared and submitted in one smooth, tracked process.
The confirmation statement is just one of your Community Interest Company's annual obligations. Once we are filing that for you, our accountants can look after the rest on a fixed fee, so your whole year of compliance is covered by one trusted team.
