How can you make the most of your work day when it snows?

Even if your colleagues are taking the day off and clients are shutting up shop because of the weather, there's no reason your day in the office has to be a write-off.

Here are some top tips from Gov.uk service Companies House to make your snow day productive:

Register for online filing

If you haven't already, register for online filing, which Companies House claims can save a business time and money. More than 80% of companies already file online and amongst other things, benefit from built-in checks that help you to avoid errors, and the possibility of rejection.

Sign-up for email reminders

As an online filer, you can then sign-up to Companies House's email reminder service. When your company is due to file it's accounts or confirmation statement, the service will send you a reminder by email, giving you plenty of time to meet the filing deadline.

Check company information for free

Check if your company records are up to date using Companies House Service. You can view your filing history, check when your next set of accounts or confirmation statement are due and make sure your People with Significant Control (PSC) information is correct.

Use its Follow service

Start using Companies House's Follow service to keep tabs on your own company's filings or follow your business competitors and receive instant email alerts when they file anything.

Sign-up for email news alerts

Sign-up to Companies House email alerts for the service's latest news and information. You can pick and choose the topics that interest you, or subscribe to them all.

Register for webinars

Register for Companies House's next joint webinar with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). It will cover the registration process, directors' responsibilities to Companies House and HMRC, and where to go for more help and guidance.

Read Companies House's blogs

Catch up with the service's latest blogs – from the history of the iconic rugby ball, to the story of a pioneering female industrialist. Plus, you can sign-up for email updates to get the latest blog straight into your inbox.
