Each year, all limited companies and LLPs are required to submit an annual return to Companies House. Prime can assist you with submitting your annual return, which is a record of key company information that you must provide by a designated date each year.

Annual returns are sent to Companies House where they are filed and made publicly available so that anyone can verify the details and legitimacy of any UK company. It is a record of general information about your company e.g. the address of your registered office, details of your directors, secretary, shareholders and share capital etc.

All unincorporated businesses are exempt from the legal obligation of making an annual return to Companies House. This includes self-employed sole traders and ordinary partnerships. Private companies are no longer required to provide details of shareholders' addresses on the annual return. Different rules apply to certain public companies.

If you do not deliver your company's annual return, the Registrar might assume that your company is no longer carrying on business and could take steps to strike it from the register.

Prime can ensure that your annual return is completed thoroughly and submitted to Companies House by your designated date. In addition, we also offer a Companies House monitoring service which means that we would be alerted immediately if documents were filed at Companies House, other than by us as your authorised agent. Many of our clients welcome the peace of mind this service brings, given that identity theft is becoming increasingly more commonplace.
