Everything we do for your dormant company
Purpose-built for dormant and non-trading companies and LLPs, flat management and right-to-manage (RTM) companies, and a community interest company's tax return. We file the accounts and tax return, and watch the rest of the year. Here's exactly what you get, in plain English — no accountant required.
Adding your company takes seconds
Three steps. We do the digging; you confirm what we find.
- 1
Look up your company
Enter your company or LLP number. We pull your name, incorporation date, registered address, and year-end dates from Companies House automatically.
- 2
See what's outstanding
We read your full filing history and work out every year of accounts you still owe, right back to the day the company was set up. Years behind? You'll see exactly what's due — or run the free Companies House audit for the same picture before you sign up.
- 3
Share capital, read for you
We read your issued share capital from the latest share details (statement of capital) on the Companies House register and fill it in — you just confirm it's right.

Find your company, and the rest fills itself in
Start typing a name or number and we match it on the Companies House register. Name, number, registered office, incorporation date and accounting dates all come from the public record — you confirm what we found.
- 1Search by company name or number — we match it on the register as you type.
- 2Know the number already? Enter it directly.
- 3Your details are encrypted and used only to file your accounts and tax returns.
The add-company screen: search the Companies House register by name or number, or type the number in directly.
Filing, done for you
We pick the right accounts and send them straight to Companies House and HMRC. The fiddly parts are ours.
Pick the right accounts for you
Genuinely dormant? Choose to file dormant accounts — and if the balance sheet still carries figures from trading years, you can start from the ones in your last filed accounts, check them and save. Not trading but repaying a Bounce Back Loan or similar? Generate and file FRS 105 micro-entity accounts from a few figures. You choose at filing time, in plain English.
Filed straight to the government
Your accounts and Company Tax Return go straight to Companies House and HMRC through the same official filing systems that accounting software such as Xero and FreeAgent use. No printing, no posting, no portals.
LLPs, not just companies
Add an LLP by name or number (they start OC, SO or NC) and we file its dormant accounts — or, if it has transactions on its books, short micro-entity LLP accounts (FRS 105) — to Companies House the same way. The flow knows it's an LLP: you name the designated member (one of the members responsible for the LLP's filings) who approves the accounts, the balance sheet shows members' interests instead of share capital, and there's no Company Tax Return — an LLP is taxed as a partnership, so any HMRC return would be the Partnership Tax Return (SA800), due only if HMRC sends a notice to file. If HMRC has, DormantFile files it showing nothing to pay — switch on the Partnership Tax Return in Settings. Trading LLP accounts remain an accountant's job.
Flat management and RTM companies too
Flat management and right-to-manage (RTM) companies are limited by guarantee — they have no shares, so there's no share-capital question for the flow to ask. We file dormant accounts when service charges are held in trust for the flat owners (the statutory trust), away from the company's own books, or micro-entity accounts when they run through it instead, plus the Company Tax Return showing nothing to pay (a nil CT600) if HMRC wants one — unlike an LLP, a guarantee company can be asked for one. The accounts carry the correct legal form for a guarantee company throughout.
CICs — the tax return half
Community interest companies get the HMRC side in full: there's no CIC-specific box on the Company Tax Return (CT600), so a CIC's return showing nothing to pay files exactly like any other company's. The accounts half we can't do, and neither can any other filing software — Companies House only accepts CIC accounts alongside a community interest report (CIC34) and a £15 fee, by post or through its own CIC service. Add the CIC and the dashboard tracks both deadlines, files the return, and tells you where the accounts go instead: filed separately with Companies House (form CIC34).
Long periods? We split them for you
If your accounts cover more than 12 months, HMRC needs two Company Tax Returns — one for the first 12 months and a short one for the rest. We work out the split and hand you both ready to add, dates pre-filled.
Your accounts, attached — no re-keying
Every Company Tax Return (CT600) includes your annual accounts. We pull the ones you already filed at Companies House and attach them automatically — nothing to re-type. Filed elsewhere? Upload your own instead.
Years behind? Catch up in one sitting
We read your full Companies House history and find every year of accounts still unfiled, right back to the day the company was set up. File them oldest-first — no limit on how many, no extra charge.
The technical documents, handled
We prepare the digital files HMRC and Companies House require — tagged accounts (iXBRL) and the tax workings. You never see the code behind them.
Know the result in minutes
After you submit, we check with HMRC and Companies House and email you the moment it's accepted — or the exact rejection reason and what to fix if it isn't.
Tax return periods — confirmed by you
Enter your tax reference (UTR) and the periods HMRC has asked for a Company Tax Return (CT600) for. We suggest them from your accounts and your Companies House record, you confirm every one — and confirmed periods get their legal deadline tracked and reminded. HMRC's letter is always definitive.
Already filed it elsewhere?
Mark a period as done — through your accountant or another service — so it drops out of your list and reminders.
See it before it's sent
A clear summary of exactly what's going where, and for which period. Nothing is submitted until you confirm.
Every filed document, one click
A Documents tab for each company with everything on its public record — including filings made long before you joined — as PDFs, straight from Companies House.

See the accounts before they go
Before anything is submitted you see the exact document Companies House will receive, laid out as you'd print it — the directors' report, the dormancy statement and the balance sheet. Download a copy, or go back and change the accounts type.
- 1The generated accounts — company, period and directors' report, built from the register.
- 2Download a copy for your own records before you file.
- 3The balance sheet: here £1 of share capital. A company still holding figures from trading years shows them here too.
The preview step shows the dormant accounts document exactly as it will be submitted to Companies House.
We watch every Companies House deadline, so you don't have to
The thing that keeps directors up at night is a missed filing and a penalty. This is how we keep the dates in front of you.
We email you before every deadline
Reminders at 90, 30, 14, 7, 3, and 1 day before your accounts and confirmation statement deadlines — and overdue alerts at 1, 7, 30, and 90 days after. We also remind you about any Corporation Tax or partnership return deadline you add. Grouped across your companies, with the penalty amount so you know the stakes.
Register watch: know if anyone changes who runs or owns your company
Dormant companies are prime targets for hijacking — fraudsters file a director or address change and trade on a clean history nobody is watching. We check your company's public record every day and alert you to filings that change who runs or owns it: director or secretary changes, address moves, changes to who owns or controls it (persons with significant control), name changes, new charges (loans secured on the company) and insolvency filings. Routine accounts and confirmation statements don't raise an alert. If it was you, dismiss it. If it wasn't, you'll know in time to report it and act.
Autopilot: file next year in one click
Optional, and for dormant accounts only — companies and LLPs alike. Turn on autopilot from the autopilot page or settings and we store your Companies House code encrypted (never logged), prepare next year's dormant accounts, and email you 30 days before the deadline — one click files them. Turning autopilot off keeps the code saved so re-enabling is one click; remove it any time from settings, which deletes it immediately. For companies, the Company Tax Return is always filed by you.
Synced with Companies House daily
If your year end changes or a period is filed elsewhere, we notice automatically — no manual updates.
Spots filings made elsewhere
Filed through your accountant? We find it in your Companies House history and tick it off for you.
Strike-off watch
When a strike-off notice appears in the Gazette (the official public record where these notices are published), we catch it in the daily sync and email you while the objection window is still open and you can act. And if the company is struck off or restored, we pause or resume filing and reminders and tell you straight away.
Hide what you're handling separately
Mark a period as not tracked and it stops showing up in reminders and your to-do list.
Every deadline in your own calendar
Subscribe once in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar — accounts, the tax return dates you've entered, confirmation statements, and director ID verification, across all your companies, with reminders built in. Dates update themselves as you file, so your calendar is never stale.
Director ID verification, tracked
Every individual director, LLP member and person with significant control (an owner or controller) must verify their identity with Companies House. We read each person's status from the register, show who's verified, remind you about anyone who hasn't, and put the dates in your calendar feed.
A full history per company
Every filing, acceptance, rejection, and reminder for each company, in order.

The whole portfolio on one screen
