Yes. Limited by guarantee companies can use Inform Direct to file micro-entity accounts.



The accounts we produce include the following elements that have been tailored for limited by guarantee companies:

  • A cover page that references the fact that the company is limited by guarantee.

  • Reference to surplus/deficit throughout the accounts (rather than profit/loss).

  • The ability to include an optional members’ guarantee balance sheet note. We also provide sample wording to get you started with this note.

  • IXBRL tagged accounts suitable for submission to Companies House and HMRC will automatically be created.


However, please be aware that in accordance with the requirements of section 384B of the Companies Act 2006, if your limited by guarantee company is also a charity it will not be eligible to file micro-entity accounts.


Upload and submit an iXBRL company accounts file

 If you are a Subscriber using your own presenter code, you can also upload an iXBRL company accounts file to Inform Direct and authorise us to electronically file this with Companies House on your behalf. This removes the need to create the company accounts in Inform Direct before filing them. See: How do I upload and file IXBRL company accounts?
