Frequently Asked Questions
How do I appoint a new director to my UK limited company?
-
To appoint a director, you must pass a board resolution and notify Companies House by filing form AP01 (for individuals) or AP02 (for corporate directors). The new director must be over 16 and consent to act.
Do I need to notify Companies House when a director is appointed?
+
Yes, all director appointments must be reported to Companies House within 14 days using the appropriate form (AP01 or AP02), either online or by post.
Can a company have only one director in the UK?
+
Yes. A private limited company (LTD) must have at least one director, who must be a natural person (not a corporate entity). Public limited companies (PLCs) require a minimum of two directors.
What is required to resign a director from a UK company?
+
To resign a director, the company must file form TM01 with Companies House. The resignation should be recorded in board minutes, and the outgoing director may also submit a letter of resignation.
Can a director resign without the company’s consent in the UK?
+
Yes. A director can resign at any time by giving notice, typically in writing. The company is still responsible for notifying Companies House via form TM01.
Is it mandatory to have a UK resident director?
+
No. There is no legal requirement for a UK limited company to have a UK-resident director. However, non-UK resident directors must still comply with UK company law and reporting obligations.
What happens if all directors resign from a UK company?
+
If all directors resign and no new ones are appointed, the company may become non-compliant. This can lead to Companies House striking off the company. It’s important to appoint at least one active director.
Can the same person be both shareholder and director of a UK company?
+
Yes. It is common for the same person to act as both director and shareholder in a UK company. This is allowed under UK company law and is typical for small businesses and startups.
