How it works

Three steps to full compliance

Get set up in under two minutes. No spreadsheets, no manual diary entries, no guesswork.

Step 1

Enter your company number

We look up your company on the Companies House register and pull in every detail we need — incorporation date, company type, accounting reference date, SIC codes, and more.

Step 2

We calculate every deadline

Our engine cross-references your company data against filing rules for five regulatory bodies to produce a personalised compliance calendar — automatically.

Step 3

Get reminders before each deadline

Receive email and SMS alerts at intervals you choose. Each reminder includes a direct link to the government portal — file with one click.
