Generally it is up to the members to appoint the people they believe will run the company well on their behalf. However, there are certain restrictions on becoming a director in a private company limited by shares, directors:
- must not have been disqualified by a court from acting as a company director (unless he or she has been given permission by a court to act for a particular company)
- must not be an undischarged bankrupt (except by permission of the court)
