Bristol Bears Limited, a company linked to the English premiership rugby club, has once again failed to file Companies House documents on time.

The organisation was required to submit a confirmation statement between May 25 and June 8, but on Monday morning (June 9) the government website showed the document was overdue.

Business Live asked Bristol Bears Limited why it had not filed its statement, but it did not provide a comment. It has since submitted the document to Companies House.

Every company, including dormant and non-trading organisations, must file a confirmation statement at least once every year - even if there have not been any changes during the review period.

It confirms the information about the company is up to date and is required for the public record. Since March last year, businesses also need to state that the intended future activities of the company are lawful.

It is not the first time Bristol Bears Limited has filed documents late.

Last year, compulsory strike-off action against Bristol Bears Limited was discontinued. It was also issued with a notice for compulsory strike off in 2022, which was also later discontinued.

If a strike off occurs a company is removed from the official Companies House register and formally closed. It is usually due to non-compliance with filing requirements such as annual accounts or confirmation statements.
