Annual register review, confirmation and filing control

LLP Confirmation Statement and Continuing Compliance

Review the public register, identify changes that need their own filing, obtain the required statements and verification information, and deliver the LLP confirmation statement within the correct annual period.

The confirmation statement is not the LLP’s accounts and it is not a universal change form. Coddan’s service separates confirmation from the event filings, identity-verification routes and professional work that the annual review may reveal.

Commercial position: Coddan’s one-off confirmation-statement service is £99 + VAT. Managed LLP filing-calendar administration is £249 + VAT per year. The current £50 digital or software Companies House fee is separate when payable; paper filing currently costs £110. Accounts, identity verification, complex changes and other official or professional fees are separate.

A confirmation, not an annual return

The LLP must confirm that its Companies House information is properly up to date

Every limited liability partnership must deliver at least one confirmation statement during each 12-month review period. The requirement applies to trading, dormant and non-trading LLPs, including where no relevant fact has changed.

The former annual return was replaced by the confirmation-statement regime. “Annual return” may still appear in an old URL, record or conversation, but the current filing is LL CS01 — Confirmation statement for a limited liability partnership.

Current delivery routes include Companies House online filing, supported commercial software and the paper LL CS01 form. The appropriate route depends on the filing circumstances, accepted information and any connected change or restoration work.

Three dates with different functions

Review period, confirmation date and filing deadline

The first review period begins on incorporation. Later review periods normally begin the day after the previous confirmation date. The confirmation date chosen for LL CS01 must fall within the relevant review period, and the statement must be delivered within 14 days after that date.

The accounting reference date and accounts deadline belong to the separate annual-accounts route. Coddan’s service-renewal date is also a commercial date, not a statutory confirmation date.

The review period and payment period are not interchangeable

The review period controls when the LLP must confirm its information. The Companies House payment period controls when the official confirmation-statement fee becomes payable.

Professional review before transmission

A proper filing begins by checking what Companies House currently shows

Coddan’s pre-filing review compares the LLP’s supplied facts with its current public and filing record. The purpose is to identify whether LL CS01 can proceed or whether a different event filing must be completed first or delivered at the same time.

Confirm the register—or file the event that changed it

The current paper LL CS01 expressly states that it cannot be used to notify changes to LLP members, PSC information, the registered office or SAIL information. Those changes require their proper routes before or with the statement.

A “no change” statement is therefore a conclusion reached after review. It is not permission to ignore an unreported event or leave an inaccurate public particular untouched.

Current additional statements

Registered email and lawful purpose have defined filing functions

Role-specific verification routes

A personal code is a filing dependency—not the verification service itself

The current LL CS01 additional-information Part 2 requires identity-verification details for current individual members unless the information has already been provided. It must not be used to supply the verification details of a PSC or a corporate member.

Preparation may be delegated; responsibility and authority remain defined

Coddan can review, prepare and submit an accepted filing. The LLP and its designated members remain responsible for the accuracy, completeness and timely delivery of required information.

The current paper LL CS01 provides for authentication by a designated member or judicial factor. An electronic filing follows the authentication requirements of the relevant online or software route. Coddan does not authenticate a statutory statement without the required you authority.

Commercial continuity without hidden renewal

Choose one filing—or an expressly renewed annual calendar

Both services begin with an accepted register and deadline review. The managed calendar adds continuing administration but does not turn every future filing into an included event.

One clearly defined annual route

From register review to a recorded filing outcome

1. 1. Establish the filing position. Confirm the LLP number, status, confirmation date, deadline, payment period and chosen service.

2. 2. Review the register. Compare the relevant registered particulars with the your current instructions and evidence.

3. 3. Route connected events. Identify member, PSC, address, SAIL, name, accounts or restoration work that LL CS01 cannot replace.

4. 4. Check verification readiness. Obtain the applicable current-member details and identify any separate PSC or verification action.

5. 5. Obtain statements and authority. Record authority for the confirmation and lawful-purpose statement and deal with the applicable professional and official fees.

6. 6. Submit and record. Deliver the accepted filing, then record acceptance, rejection, query or the next corrective destination.

Timing begins after Coddan accepts the instruction and receives complete information, required personal codes, authority and payment. No same-day or Companies House acceptance promise is made.

Overdue status changes the route

Late confirmation may involve more than filing LL CS01

Failure to file a confirmation statement is an offence. Companies House may use financial-penalty powers, the LLP and relevant designated members may face prosecution where the legislation provides, and the registrar may take strike-off action.

Clarity proved through separation

One annual review, with each resulting job sent to its proper route

The administrative friction usually arises from several dates, register particulars, identity-verification duties and separate change forms being treated as one task. Coddan structures the review before preparing the statement.

This makes the annual administration clearer and more straightforward. It does not describe legal compliance, PSC analysis, identity verification, overdue recovery or Companies House processing as simple, instant or guaranteed.

When Coddan pauses, redirects or refuses the filing

A confirmation statement proceeds only where the required facts, role-specific verification information, statements and filing authority can properly be established.

Keep every connected obligation with its specialist owner

The annual review may reveal another job. LLP confirmation statements and continuing compliance identifies and dispatches that job without taking ownership of its substantive service.

Capability evidenced by the clearly defined filing route

Continuing administration connected to Coddan’s LLP lifecycle

Coddan has provided formation and continuing corporate services since 2005. It operates as a formation agent, is supervised by HM Revenue & Customs as a trust or company service provider, and is registered with Companies House as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider.

Coddan uses filing software to transmit accepted information and can route accepted identity verification through its approved ACSP process. These facts do not represent government endorsement, HMRC approval of the LLP, guaranteed filing acceptance or authority to provide legal or individual tax advice.

Authoritative confirmation-statement and filing basis

The statutory, form, fee, verification and enforcement statements on this page were checked against the position available on 23 September 2026. Identity-verification implementation remains role-specific and must be rechecked before you rely on the service or submit a filing or later amendment.

Start with the register and the current deadline

File one confirmation statement—or place the annual calendar under managed control

Use the one-off route for a straightforward accepted LL CS01 instruction. Choose managed administration where Coddan is to monitor the annual cycle, issue agreed reminders and coordinate the included scope. If the review identifies another event, that work moves to its proper filing or professional destination.

Acceptance depends on the LLP’s live status, complete register information, required personal codes, authority, connected filings and Coddan’s accepted scope. Companies House controls its own processing and decision.
