important notes

Your company must have a minimum of 1 director.

There is no longer a legal requirement to appoint a company secretary, however companies with only one director will often require a second signature on legal documentation (for example when you open a bank account). If you do not appoint a company secretary this documentation will need to be signed by an appointed witness and many companies are still opting to appoint a company secretary.

Your company will require a registered office. This is an address to which all official mail can be sent to your company. If you wish to keep your address private/require anonymity, or you are not allowed to use your address (i.e. if you rent property), Duport can provide this service for you, it is charged at £120 for 1 year, and the option will be available on the order form.

Duport provide a company secretary and registered office service to clients at its discretion. To legally provide this service in accordance with UK money laundering regulations you will be asked to supply identification verifying your identity. We recommend you view a copy of the letter you will receive requesting this information.

Some of the services that make up the "Special Offer" pack are provided by third parties. As such it will be necessary to pass on your details for the provision of such services. Please note that your details will not be passed on for any service which you do not opt-in to receive, and which are not mentioned.

VAT registration: there is a £67,000 threshold on taxable supplies where VAT registration becomes compulsory in most circumstances. For most, this will not apply to your first couple of years trading. If you operate below the threshold, you may voluntarily apply also. In ALL cases we recommend you take advice from a good accountant.

You will be responsible for submitting your accounts and annual return to Companies House each year.
