According to the new Companies Act 2006 which came into force on the 6th April 2008 companies can now be formed using only one individual acting as a director. This means that there is no need to specify a company secretary as the company does not necessarily have to have one.
By default BIRR Legal Services will no longer specify a company secretary unless you require one.
This company requires a secretary:
Please note: Under the revised regulations any company with only one director - the director must be a natural person not a limited company. Companies formed with more than one director can include another limited company as a director.
Service Address: Under the new regulations, a director of a company is allowed to use a service address and a usual residential address. The service address is used on the public register as the stated address for the person. A residential address can be withheld from the public record and will only be disclosed to certain authorities.
Until such time as our software is updated, the residential address will be the same as the service address unless you add a service address in the comments box below. You may also use the registered office as the service address.
