Don’t forget the Companies Act 2006 is changing the law for companies.  Some changes have already happened. For more information go to  www.companieshouse.gov.uk/act.  Here’s what’s happening from 1 October 2009:-

• A director’s residential address will automatically become the service address (available to the public). If you want a different service address e.g. registered address – you will be able to change online
• All Companies House accounts filing deadlines reduced by one month
• Changes to arrangements for inspecting a company’s registers
• Easier to set up a company
• Change to articles for new companies – to include company’s objects & liabilities (from memorandum)
• Notifying article changes – amendments must be sent within 15 days to avoid possible penalties and a criminal offence
