Is your company considered Dormant?
To be a dormant company you must not have traded or not be planning to trade in the next financial year. This means that you cannot incur any business significant expenses or earn any business income. Any business transactions will make your company an active company and you will need to prepare full company accounts.
If you are not sure about whether you could be considered as a dormant company, contact us today on 02074382019 or use our live chat and a member of our team will be happy to help.
