In short

How do I keep track of Companies House filing deadlines on GOV.UK?

WebRun checks your company's public GOV.UK record every Monday for the next confirmation statement and accounts filing deadlines, adding each date to Google Calendar. Once a deadline is within 14 days, it sends your accountant a WhatsApp reminder naming the exact date, so a filing deadline never gets missed for being forgotten.

  • Filing deadlines are on the calendar as soon as they are published
  • The accountant gets a reminder with 14 days to act
  • Nothing gets filed automatically, only tracked and reminded

Built for UK small business owners · company directors · accountants · bookkeepers

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it file the confirmation statement or accounts for us?

No. WebRun only reads the public deadline dates from GOV.UK and reminds your accountant. Filing anything stays a human action, never automatic.

How does it know the deadline?

From the company's own public record on GOV.UK, the same information anyone can look up by company number.

What happens once a filing is submitted?

Once GOV.UK shows the filing accepted, the calendar event is removed and the reminders stop until the next deadline.
