For clients who wish to appoint or resign as directors, we provide a professional service that includes the filing of Companies House documents as well as any other paperwork required to maintain your business records up-to-date and compliant.

The need of putting in place the necessary company secretarial documentation for director appointments and resignations is frequently underestimated, putting organisations at risk of non-compliance. When you use this service, you can rest assured that your company's records are in order.

This service will set you back £19.99 + VAT per appointment or resignation.

What does our price include?

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the minimum number of directors that a limited corporation must have?

At least one director is required for every limited corporation. A natural person must be the only director of a limited corporation with just one director.

Are directors and shareholders the same person?

Shareholders are not required to serve on the board of directors. Their function is to administer the firm, thus they are not required to be shareholders. However, current shareholders may decide to offer shares to the directors, which is totally fine and rather usual.

What is the function of a corporate director?

The owners of a company (shareholders or guarantors) designate directors to ‘direct' the company's day-to-day operations on their behalf. They are in charge of ensuring a company's seamless operation and management by following to all legal and contractual requirements, as well as assuring the company's success and profitability.

When can I expect my documents?

Once all essential information is submitted, documents will be emailed to you within 2-3 business days.
