What is the process for appointing a new director?

Once we receive your completed instruction form, our Company Secretarial Team will invite the new director to complete a quick online ID check. After the ID verification is approved, we submit the director’s details to Companies House. Companies House will then email the new director their unique personal code, which must be provided to us so we can file the appointment. Typically, Companies House confirms the director’s appointment within 24 working hours.

What is the process for resigning a director?

After receiving the completed instruction form, our Company Secretarial Team will prepare and submit the resignation to Companies House. The resignation is usually confirmed by Companies House within 24 working hours.

Does the director need to be a PSC and shareholder also?

Directors are not required to be shareholders or persons with significant control (PSC). However, if existing shareholders wish to offer shares to a director, the director must also be added as a shareholder, and as a PSC if they hold 25% or more of the company’s shares.

We recommend our Company Secretarial Service, which includes Director Appointments and Resignations, Share Issuance and Transfers, and Confirmation Statement filing—all at a discounted package rate.
