Make a Company Dormant — £44, fixed.
Pause the company without killing it — trading stopped properly at Companies House and HMRC. Delivered online to every UK town, with the fee agreed in writing before we start.
Everything the fixed fee covers
- SIC code changed to dormant (99999) via a confirmation statement — the £34 Companies House fee shown up front
- HMRC told the company is dormant for corporation tax, so the demands stop
- Clear guidance on the final trading accounts you'll owe for the period up to dormancy
- The rules that keep dormancy intact, including why the bank account should probably close
- Reminders for the two filings that continue every year
Done in three simple steps
Message us on WhatsApp or the form with your company name or number. You get one fixed quote in writing — the price above, confirmed before anything starts.
We prepare the filing and send it for your approval. Where Companies House requires identity verification, it's a couple of minutes on your phone — we walk you through it.
Everything is submitted electronically to Companies House or HMRC, and we confirm to you the moment it's accepted — most electronic filings clear the same day.
The new Companies House identity rules
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, directors and people with significant control must now verify their identity with Companies House — mandatory for new appointments since 18 November 2025, and rolling out to existing directors at their next confirmation statement. Verified individuals receive an 11-character Personal Code used on filings, alongside the company's existing 6-character authentication code. It sounds like a lot; in practice it's a few minutes on a phone, and we handle the sequencing as part of every filing we submit.

Make a Company Dormant FAQs
Should I make my company dormant or close it down?
Dormant if there's a realistic chance you'll trade again or the name is worth keeping — the annual cost is small. Strike-off if it's genuinely finished, because dormancy's filings continue forever. It's a five-minute conversation and we'll give you a straight recommendation either way.
What happens to the trading I did earlier this year?
That period still needs final accounts and a corporation tax return — dormancy isn't retroactive. We'll quote the final accounts as a separate fixed fee so there's one clean line: trading before it, dormant after it.
What can a dormant company still do?
Almost nothing, and that's the point — no trading, no wages, no bank interest. Only Companies House's own fees and initial share capital don't break dormancy. It's also why we recommend closing the company bank account: one automated bank charge or interest credit can undo it.
Is this service really available anywhere in the UK?
Yes — the whole engagement is online, so location is irrelevant. Records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. Same service, same fixed fee, everywhere.
