Companies House Fee Increases

From February 1st 2026, Companies House fees will be increasing a number of its statutory fees.

These changes are part of a broader effort to modernise the platform, introduce new functionality and strengthen compliance with stricter regulatory frameworks.

Here are some of the key fee increases:

Digital voluntary strike-off fee:

Decreasing from £33 to £13

Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) registration fee:

Increasing from £55 to £63

Company formation fee:

Increasing from £50 to £100

Confirmation statement fee:

Increasing from £34 to £50

These updated fees are intended to support ongoing enhancements to Companies House services, including improved search functionality and faster processing times.

Company formation fees are doubling, so if you’re considering setting up a limited company, it’s worth doing so before the new fees come into effect.

You don’t have to start trading straight away — you can incorporate now and keep the company dormant until you’re ready. This lets you lock in the lower formation fee and avoid paying more later.

But it’s not all bad news, strike off fees are decreasing if you’re thinking of closing your company.
