What is confirmed in CS01?
Directors, shareholders and relevant capital structure, persons with significant control where the rules apply, registered office, SIC Codes, and other fields the form requires at filing time.
Annual compliance
An annual filing with Companies House confirming that the company data shown on the register is still correct or updating it — entirely different from a Corporation Tax return.

A UK Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity registered at Companies House. Non-resident founders from the Gulf, Egypt, the Levant and North Africa can form one remotely when identity is verified through an authorised ACSP. Eteform.com Ltd handles the English name check, SIC activity, IN01 filing and ACSP checks — usually delivering the Certificate of Incorporation within 24–48 working hours. Packages start from £50; Companies House government fees are shown separately before payment.
After incorporation you receive a CRN and digital documents. Many founders then open Wise Business or Revolut Business, set a London registered office if needed, and prepare for Stripe, Shopify or Amazon using matching company details. Annual duties typically include the Confirmation Statement (CS01), accounts, and Corporation Tax registration with HMRC when trading starts. Dormant companies still have lighter filing duties — they are not a full exemption from Companies House.
UK Ltd formation does not grant UK residency or a visa, and bank or payment-gateway approval is never guaranteed. What we control is a correctly filed, transparent entity with Arabic support from order to certificate — so you can compare packages, read the formation guide, or start your order with clear GBP pricing.

Every company has a due date linked to its incorporation or last statement. Late filing opens escalating penalties and can lead to action against the company’s continued presence on the register.
Two separate paths. You may be required to file CS01 and accounts (full or Dormant) in different windows. Completing one does not close the other file.
Yes. The statement is required even with “no change”; it is an official confirmation of continuity.
There are rules for early filing in certain cases. We choose what fits your company’s date so you do not confuse the next year’s cycle.
We file the late statement and guide you on dealing with the penalty according to your position. Acting quickly reduces how far the problem escalates.
