What is a dormant account filing service?

Every limited company in the UK is required to file accounts on an annual basis. If your company is classified as dormant (not trading), you do not need to file full accounts, however, you are required to file dormant company accounts.

1st Formations provide a dormant account filing service for limited companies, regardless of whether the company was incorporated using our website. The process takes no longer than 24 hours (Express Service), and you can save on not having to pay costly accountancy fees.

The cost of our Dormant Company Accounts Service is £49.99 +VAT.

How it works

• Select the Standard or Express Service
• Fill out the order form, checkout, and pay
• Simply confirm your answers to the questions by replying to the email
