Filing Companies House forms - a quick guide
Summary
However, if you only file information infrequently it doesn’t look so straight forward and the penalties regime can now make it expensive to miss deadlines. Small companies (typically those with sales below £10.2m, though there are other criteria) can prepare “abridged accounts” which are simpler to produce but the directors will need to obtain the approval of the shareholders each year to do so. Probably of greater relevance to many businesses – Micro-Entities (typically those with sales below £632k though there are other criteria) can produce and file simpler accounts that meet statutory minimum requirements. The paper versions usually exist as PDF files that you can fill in on your computer and print them for signing and posting. Companies House offers its PROOF service as a way to file online and reduce the risk of fraud.
