My company only holds shares. Can it still be dormant?

It can be. A company that just holds shares may still count as dormant if it received no dividends or interest and bought nothing this year. We look at what actually happened, tell you plainly whether £19 dormant accounts fit, and file only once you’ve approved them.

Holding company with nothing happening? Easy.

Your company number and any bank statements. We do the rest.

You send whatever you have

To get started

Your company number

And bank statements, if you have them

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

  • Your bank statements, if the company has an account
  • Your company number
  • A note of what the company owns
  • Any dividend or interest slips, if you have them
  • Last year’s accounts, if the company has filed before

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

We do the rest

A year-end example

A company that just holds shares or an asset can be very quiet. It may still count as dormant if it received no dividends, rent or interest and bought nothing during the year. We check this for you.

Frequently asked questions

Can a holding company use the £19 dormant service?

Possibly, if it qualifies for dormant accounts for the whole period and the required statements can be prepared on the standard scope. We will not assume that a company with investments or group relationships is eligible without checking.
