A FastUK alternative for bookkeepers who want the late-accounts penalty in pounds
FastUK Company Search is a real, widely used tool: favourites, CSV import, and alerts for accounts and confirmation statements (CS01). People searching for a FastUK alternative usually want the same job in a web portfolio for roughly 30–120 companies — with the late-accounts penalty in pounds visible before the letter arrives.
Dueboard does not claim uniqueness versus FastUK, CHWatch or CoHoWatch. For an honest side-by-side, see FastUK vs CHWatch vs CoHoWatch.
The offer
Import your company numbers. See every accounts and confirmation-statement deadline — and the Companies House late-accounts penalty in pounds — before you get the letter.

Honesty
- Free Companies House email reminders exist — register on GOV.UK. Dueboard does not replace them.
- CS01 dates are for chase only. There is no automatic CS01 late-filing tariff like the accounts penalty ladder.
- Late-accounts bands: £150 / £375 / £750 / £1,500; may double if accounts were late in two successive years. Estimates, not legal advice — GOV.UK late filing penalties.
