The Hidden Cost of DIY Company Secretarial

Most owner-directors cobble together Word templates, spreadsheets, and late-night WebFiling sessions. The result: missed deadlines, non-compliant documents, and penalties that add up.

£85M in penalties per year

Companies House issues 200,000+ late filing penalties annually. Penalties range from £150 to £3,000 (doubled for repeat offenders).

Word templates everywhere

Share certificates from Google, dividend vouchers from your accountant, board minutes in a folder somewhere. No numbering, no consistency, no audit trail.

Dividend tax guesswork

Calculating the right tax on dividends means knowing the current allowance, band rates, and marginal logic. Get it wrong and HMRC notices.

Software-only filing ahead

Companies House is moving toward requiring software-only filing for annual accounts. The original April 2027 deadline has been paused, but the direction is clear.

Your Company Secretary in Software

Registers, documents, filings, and reminders — everything the Companies Act requires, in one place.

Add your companies

Enter your company number. CompanyMinder pulls your details from Companies House automatically — shareholders, directors, filing history.

Generate documents in minutes

Share certificates, dividend vouchers with auto tax calculations, board minutes — all Companies Act compliant and professionally formatted.

Maintain your registers

Your register of members updates automatically as you issue shares, record transfers, and manage shareholders — the only mandatory local register after ECCTA 2025.

File directly with Companies House

Submit confirmation statements and officer changes through the CH API. Deadline reminders at 30, 14, 7, and 1 day keep you penalty-free.

Built for Directors Who Do It Themselves

Free tier for a single company. £9/month per company for full document generation, CH API filing, and multi-company dashboard.

Documents that are actually compliant

Share certificates with auto-numbering, dividend vouchers with correct tax calculations, board minutes with proper legal clauses. No more hoping your Word template is right.

One dashboard for every company

If you run multiple companies — SPVs, dormant entities, trading companies — each has its own registers, filings, and deadlines. One view replaces the spreadsheets and template folders.

Flat fee, no per-action charges

Some tools charge £15 per confirmation statement, £10 per dividend. CompanyMinder is a flat monthly fee — unlimited filings, documents, and registers. No surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CompanyMinder do?

CompanyMinder is company secretarial software for UK directors who manage their own Companies House filings. It handles share certificates, dividend vouchers with automatic tax calculations, board minutes, register of members, CH API filing, and deadline reminders — everything you need to stay Companies Act compliant without paying an accountant or a professional company secretary. Read our company secretarial software guide for self-filing directors.

How is this different from Companies House WebFiling?

WebFiling handles filing only — you can submit a confirmation statement or annual accounts, but it doesn't generate share certificates, calculate dividend tax, maintain your register of members, or produce board minutes. CompanyMinder handles both the filing AND the record-keeping and document generation that the Companies Act requires.

How much will CompanyMinder cost?

Free tier: basic register viewing, single document generation, and deadline reminders for one company. Paid tier: £9/month per company for full document generation, Companies House API filing, multi-company dashboard, and compliance calendar. Less than a single late filing penalty.

What are the late filing penalties for Companies House?

Late filing penalties for annual accounts start at £150 for up to 1 month late and increase to £1,500 for over 6 months late. If you file late two years running, penalties double (£300 to £3,000). Over 200,000 penalties are issued each year, generating £85 million in revenue. See our complete Companies House late filing penalties guide.

What is the register of members and do I still need one?

Yes — the register of members is now the ONLY mandatory local register after the ECCTA 2025 reforms abolished local registers of directors, secretaries, and PSCs (November 2025). You must maintain a record of every shareholder, their share class, number of shares held, and dates of acquisition. CompanyMinder maintains this register and keeps it Companies Act compliant.

Is Companies House moving to software-only filing?

Companies House has signalled that software-only filing for annual accounts is coming — the original April 2027 target has been paused, with no replacement date confirmed, but the direction of travel is clear. CompanyMinder is built for software filing from day one, so you'll be ready whenever the mandate takes effect. Read our full guide to Companies House software filing.

Can I manage multiple companies?

Yes. The paid tier supports a multi-company dashboard — see all your companies' deadlines, filings, and registers in one view. Ideal for portfolio landlords with SPV structures, contractors with multiple PSCs, or anyone managing dormant and active companies.
