About INSTOCK LTD

Company type and jurisdiction

INSTOCK 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 SC055376 shows it was registered in Scotland, so its records are kept by Companies House in Edinburgh. It has been on the register for 52 years and 7 months.

What INSTOCK LTD does

On the public register, INSTOCK LTD lists its activity using the UK Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007): non-specialised wholesale trade (46900). 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 INSTOCK LTD is registered

Its registered office is in Aberdeen (postcode district AB21). 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

INSTOCK LTD must file its next annual accounts by 31 December 2026. The last accounts on the register were group accounts covering a parent company and its subsidiaries. Its next confirmation statement, which confirms its officers, shareholders and registered office are up to date, is due by 9 May 2027. A private company that files its accounts late gets an automatic penalty of £150 if they are up to one month late, rising to £375, £750 and £1,500 after six months, and the penalty is doubled if accounts are late two years in a row. A company that does not file a confirmation statement can be struck off the register.

Charges and secured debt

INSTOCK LTD has 3 charges registered against it, of which 2 are still outstanding. A charge is security given to a lender, such as a mortgage over property or a debenture over all the company's assets; if the company does not repay, the lender can take those assets first. The full charge documents can be read for free on Companies House.
