Confirmation Statement

Can I do my confirmation statement myself?

Yes, you can absolutely do your Confirmation Statement yourself, and it’s often straightforward, especially online through Companies House, where most details are pre-filled for you to check and update, saving time and money compared to using an accountant. You just need to log in, verify your identity (if you haven’t already), review or update information like share capital and People with Significant Control (PSCs), and submit it, with the online process being the quickest and cheapest.
