Filing history check
See the most recent filings a UK company has made at Companies House — accounts, confirmation statements, director appointments, resolutions and share changes. Filing gaps and late accounts are a leading indicator of distress.
What to look for
Filing patterns reveal a lot: on-time accounts and confirmation statements point to a well-run company; overdue filings, sudden director resignations, gazette notices or "compulsory strike-off action discontinued" entries are worth a closer look.
Red flags
- · Overdue accounts or confirmation statement
- · "First gazette notice for compulsory strike-off"
- · Multiple director resignations in a short window
- · Rapid changes of accountant or registered office
- · Late filing penalties or accounts filed in an unusual format
