We paid some costs but made no sales. Are we still dormant?

Maybe not. If the company paid for a website, insurance or a domain, it may need simple trading accounts from £199 rather than £19 dormant ones. We look at what was paid, including anything you paid yourself, and tell you which fits before we start. Send whatever you have.

No sales yet but some costs? We’ll sort it.

Bank statements and any bills you paid. We’ll do the rest.

Even if it’s incomplete. No bookkeeping needed first.

  • Your bank statements, if the company has an account
  • Your company number
  • Any bills, such as a website, software or insurance
  • Costs you paid yourself, a note or card statement is fine
  • The date you started work, if you did

Missing something? Bank statements are enough to start. Photos and rough notes are fine too.

We do the rest

Expert help at every step

We sort your records

Send what you have, even if it’s messy or incomplete. We do the bookkeeping from your bank statements.

We prepare everything

We prepare your accounts and tax return, and look for the costs your company can claim to lower its tax.

We check it and file on time

You approve everything first. Then we file with Companies House and HMRC before the deadline.

A year-end example

Perhaps you paid for a website, insurance or a domain but never launched. That is common. Even with no sales, those costs may mean the company needs simple accounts rather than dormant ones. We look at what was paid and tell you which fits.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to throw away the £19 option?

We check the facts first. Some preliminary activity may be treated differently for Corporation Tax, but that does not by itself establish Companies House dormancy. If non-dormant accounts are needed, we explain the accounts and tax work required; the published lower-turnover trading package is £199, subject to scope.
