Does DormantFile support companies limited by guarantee?

By Ben Davies · Updated 26 September 2026

Yes — companies limited by guarantee, since August 2026. That covers almost every flat management company and, by law, every RTM company. Add the company by name or number the same way as any other company, and we recognise it automatically from its Companies House record.

The flow knows it's a guarantee company rather than an ordinary one:

• No share capital field. Guarantee companies don't have shares, so there's nothing to enter — we skip the question rather than ask for a figure that doesn't exist.
• Both accounts types, correctly tagged. We file dormant accounts when service charges are held away from the company's own books, and micro-entity (FRS 105) accounts when they're not — see is a flat management company dormant? for that test. Dormant accounts can be nil, or carry what the company still holds or owes — its freehold interest, carried at cost with nothing charged against it, or money its members lent it — as long as nothing about them changes in the year. Either way, the accounts document carries the correct legal form for a company limited by guarantee, not the wording used for an ordinary company.
• CT600 fully available. Unlike an LLP, a guarantee company is within Corporation Tax scope, so the nil CT600 works exactly as it does for any company, whenever HMRC sends a notice to deliver one — you enter your own UTR and Gateway details; see does a flat management company need a CT600?.
• Directors sign, as normal. There's no designated-member equivalent here — ordinary directors approve and sign, the same as for any company.

Where we stop, so nobody pays for the wrong thing:

• Community interest companies stay accounts-only excluded, even ones limited by guarantee. Some CICs use the guarantee structure for the same not-for-distribution reasons an FMC does, but it's community-interest status, not the guarantee form, that keeps their accounts out of reach — no filing software can submit the CIC34 package Companies House requires. We do file a CIC's Company Tax Return, guarantee-shaped or not — see does DormantFile support CIC companies?
• If the company is also a registered charity, we file the Companies House and HMRC side only — Charity Commission reporting is separate, and outside what we do.
• Confirmation statements aren't something we file for any company — that's a separate filing you make yourself. We work out when it's due and remind you.

Pricing is the same as for any company: plans start at £19/year, priced by how many companies you manage rather than how many filings you make. If a filing is rejected, we fix it and resubmit — your subscription covers every attempt.
