This page is for owners of a UK company, possibly one set up in a quiet year, who now need to know whether it is still in good standing and whether it still fits the business. The review covers the evidence you hold and the questions for a UK accountant or solicitor.
Does a UK company that does little still carry obligations? The review separates what is merely quiet from what needs attention, and gives you a plain description of the choices: maintain it properly, simplify it, or close it.
It reviews documents you supply; it is not an audit or a legal opinion.
These sourced facts describe things that continue after incorporation.
Every UK company, including dormant and non-trading ones, must file a confirmation statement at least once a year even when nothing changed, and must state that its intended future activities are lawful.
A company using a service provider's address (for example an accountant or solicitor) as its registered office must still meet all the address requirements, and a company can be struck off the register if it does not provide a compliant registered office address.
Companies must identify people with significant control (PSCs), generally holders of more than 25% of shares or voting rights, or those who can appoint or remove a majority of directors or otherwise exercise significant influence or control.

Can the people who really control it be clearly described? Providers and counterparties may ask.
Are the records you hold the ones that matter, or does the former adviser still hold the originals?
