What this means
Even if your company is dormant (not trading), you still have filing obligations with Companies House.
The Risk
HMRC issues fines for missed filings.
Dormancy does not exempt you from accounts or CS01.
Penalties escalate if ignored.
The Good News
You can clear fines and restore compliance by filing overdue documents. Dormant companies can also apply for voluntary strike‑off if they have no future plans.
3 Steps to Save Your Company Today
Check Record — Confirm which filings are overdue.
File Documents — Submit dormant accounts and CS01.
Decide Future — Either maintain compliance or apply for strike‑off.
👉 Action tip: Dormant ≠ invisible. Compliance obligations remain until the company is formally dissolved.
