Change of Company Director or Secretary appointments, resignations and updates
Boards change. Directors join and leave, a secretary retires, someone moves house. Each change has to be recorded with the CRO, and the clock starts the day it happens. We prepare the resolutions and consents, file the paperwork and update your company registers, so nothing gets missed.
Form B10 must reach the CRO within 14 days of the change. Filing late is an offence, so don't wait.

Four steps, start to finish
Three rules that catch people out
Every company needs a secretary
The law requires one at all times. If the secretary leaves, a replacement must be recorded straight away. With one director, the secretary must be someone else.
Keep an EEA-resident director
If the director who met the EEA residency rule leaves, you'll need another, a Section 137 bond, or an exemption. See the options.
Leavers can protect themselves
If a company won't file after you resign, you can serve notice and then file Form B69 to correct the record. Ask us how.
