Miss one deadline.
Lose the company.
ZARA doesn't let that happen.

ZARA checks every client's Companies House filing deadline every morning at 7am and fires tiered alerts at 30, 14, 7 and 1 day out — for confirmation statements, full and abbreviated accounts, and dormant accounts. No human has to remember. No filing goes overdue.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero manual chasing.

ZARA doesn't wait for you to remember a date. It calculates every deadline the moment a company is added and works backwards from there.

01

Connect & calculate

ZARA connects to the Companies House API using the company registration number and calculates exact due dates for the confirmation statement, full or abbreviated accounts, and dormant accounts.

02

Sweep every morning at 7am

No human prompting required. ZARA runs the same check for every client, every day, and compares today's date against every calculated deadline in the portfolio.

Daily automated run
03

Alert, escalate, prevent

Tiered alerts fire at 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before each deadline. Anything that slips into overdue territory is escalated immediately, before it reaches Companies House penalty tiers.

Compliance that runs itself.

"A missed confirmation statement isn't an admin slip, it's a strike-off risk. ZARA makes sure that risk never has room to grow."

FAQ

Questions about ZARA

What is ZARA?

ZARA is the Companies House compliance agent inside the SME Growth Team AI stack. It connects to the Companies House API for every client company, calculates exact due dates for confirmation statements and accounts, and runs a check every morning at 7am with no human input required.

What happens if I miss a deadline without ZARA?

UK late filing penalties escalate fast: private company accounts start at £150 and rise to £750 at 6+ months overdue; public company accounts start at £750 and rise to £3,000. A missed confirmation statement carries criminal prosecution risk, director liability, and ultimately strike-off.

How does ZARA fit into the rest of the system?

ZARA's filing-deadline data feeds the compound intelligence loop: OTTO checks whether a client approaching a deadline needs finance to cover compliance costs, HUNTER flags accounts with multiple overdue items as at-risk, and FELIX includes live compliance status in every daily client intelligence pack.
