Changes to Company Law in UK – Implemented on 1st October

with one comment

The final stage for implementing the 2006 Companies Act occurred on 1st October.

From that date new companies no longer have to state their objects in the Memorandum, and there will be a new model form of Articles of Association.

Company forms for filing at Companies House will also change.

To summarise, the changes will cover:

  • registers of directors and members
  • annual returns
  • memorandum and articles of association
  • authorised share capital requirements
  • share buy-backs
  • allotments of shares
  • directors and secretaries

    • For full details of the changes, go to Companies House website
