The dates a new company has to meet.
Confirmation statement
At least once every 12 months, and it can be filed up to 14 days after the review period ends. For a new company the first period ends 12 months after incorporation. Companies House guidance.
First accounts
Due at Companies House within 21 months of the date of incorporation for a private company whose first accounts cover more than 12 months. Companies House guidance.
What the rules allow.
The ICO says you can email any corporate body, which includes a limited company, without its prior consent. Sole traders and some partnerships count as individuals and need consent. Every company in our lists is a limited company from the Companies House register. Do not hide who you are, give a way to opt out, and keep a list of anyone who asks not to be emailed again. ICO guidance.
Short answers.
When does a new company need an accountant?
Its first accounts are due at Companies House within 21 months of incorporation, and its first confirmation statement within a year, so most look for help in their first year.
Can I email a new limited company without its consent?
Yes. The ICO allows marketing emails to corporate bodies, which include limited companies, without prior consent. Say who you are and offer a way to opt out. Sole traders need consent.
