About POSTSCRIPT BOOKS LTD

Company type and jurisdiction

POSTSCRIPT BOOKS LTD is a private company limited by shares. Its owners (shareholders) are only liable for its debts up to the value of their shares, it must have at least one director, and its shares cannot be offered to the public. Its company number 01715990 shows it was registered in England and Wales, so its records are kept by Companies House in Cardiff. It has been on the register for 43 years and 6 months.

What POSTSCRIPT BOOKS LTD does

On the public register, POSTSCRIPT BOOKS LTD lists its activity using the UK Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007): retail sale via mail order houses or via internet (47910). This places it in the wholesale and retail trade and the repair of motor vehicles section of the economy. SIC codes describe what a company says it does; they are not a licence and are not checked by Companies House. See other companies with the same SIC code.

Where POSTSCRIPT BOOKS LTD is registered

Its registered office is in Newton Abbot (postcode district TQ12). The registered office is the official address for letters from Companies House, HMRC and the courts. It must be in the same UK jurisdiction where the company was registered, but it does not have to be where the business trades: many companies use their accountant's or a formation agent's address.

Accounts and filing deadlines

POSTSCRIPT BOOKS LTD must file its next annual accounts by 31 January 2027. The last accounts on the register were small company accounts exempt from audit. Its next confirmation statement, which confirms its officers, shareholders and registered office are up to date, is due by 13 November 2026.

A company that does not file a confirmation statement can be struck off the register.
