We’re closely following government guidance for working safely during coronavirus.

We have reduced numbers in our offices to maintain social distancing, and many of our employees are affected by local restrictions.

It’s taking much longer than usual to process paper documents, forms and letters sent to us by post. You should use our online services to make sure your information is processed on time.

You can:

• file your accounts
• file your confirmation statement
• make changes to your company
• close your company
