The Companies Act 2006 – 6 April 2008 Implementation:
Under the provisions of the new Companies Act 2006, from 6 April 2008, it will no longer be mandatory for private companies to have a Company Secretary and they will be allowed to operate with just one Director if they wish.
However, a company still has the option to appoint a company secretary if required who will continue to act in the same way as now with no change to the duties and authority that apply under current rules.
It is important to note that there has been no change to the duties and responsibilities of the Company Secretary, and if no secretary is appointed then those duties must be carried out by the Director.
If you decide not to have a company secretary, you may be interested in our Annual Filing and Compliance Service - see below.
NOTE: The Company Secretary Service will need to be renewed after one year. You will be contacted regarding confirmation of details re: the filing of the annual return, and renewal of the service. If we are to provide an efficient service, you will need to keep us informed of any changes in contact details. If we are unable to contact you, we will be unable to file the annual return, nor continue to act on your behalf. Ultimately we will have to refer the matter to Companies House.

Annual Filing and Compliance Service
Corporate identity fraud has become increasingly common in the UK. It occurs when documents such as director’s appointments or change of registered office address are filed fraudulently, enabling criminals to open and operate bank accounts in your company name. Companies House accept and file all documents at face value and it can be an expensive and time consuming process to remove fraudulently filed documents. Corporate identity fraud may also jeopardize your company’s credit rating.
For £60 @UK PLC are offering a new Annual Filing and Compliance Service whereby we will not only file your Annual Return to ensure your company is kept in good standing but, on a monthly basis we will check your company’s filing record at Companies House, report any activity to you and provide you with a copy of any unauthorised documents filed. Please note that this service does not include filing annual accounts.
