SECR reporting for businesses.

If you’re not quite sure what SECR is or whether it applies to you, you’re not alone.
It’s one of those energy compliance requirements that can feel a bit vague from the outside, until you’re knee-deep in SECR reporting for businesses, trying to work out what needs reporting, how to calculate it, and when it’s due.

That’s where we come in. We help you work out exactly what’s needed, get the right data in place, and make sure your report’s done properly.

If your business meets two or more of the following, SECR probably applies to you. That includes private companies, LLPs, and quoted companies:
£18m+ on the balance sheet
The rules are clear once you know them – but getting there can be confusing if it’s your first time, or if your business has changed recently.
SECR reporting for businesses goes into your annual accounts and needs to cover:
