It can not be less than 6 months or more than 18 months. The Provisions for governing the accounting period are contained in section 224 and Part VII of the Companies Act 1985.
The annual return (Forms 363a or 363s) is a document that a company must deliver every year to Companies House. An annual return is a snapshot of general information about a company's directors and secretary, registered office address, shareholders and share capital. If you file the annual return late, or not at all, the company and its director(s) and secretary can be prosecuted.
Changes to the Companies Act in 1989 mean that a company seal is no longer a legal requirement. However, there may be circumstances when a company seal can be required. If conducting business overseas or entering into contracts with overseas customers, foreign lawyers or local regulations may require that a company affixes an official seal to legal documents, contracts or lease agreements. If you find that you need a company seal we can supply one at a small extra charge.
A private company limited by shares is considered as one of the most easily managed and cost effective business structures. It is a company owned by its shareholders and run by the directors. Please visit section "UK Company Formation" for detailed information on this question.
This is one of two constitutional documents required to incorporation a limited company. The Memorandum contains the intended name of the company, the address of its registered office, authorised shares capital and the classes of shares, the statement of limited liability and the objects of the company (description of what the company may do).
The articles are a part of the company's constitutional documents together with the Memorandum of Association, both of which must be filed at Companies House on incorporation. The articles regulate how the company will be managed by its officers and members. Table A prescribes a standard form of Articles of Association for private limited companies (see also "Memorandum of Association").
There is no minimum or maximum share capital for a private limited company, however in order to incorporate a company at least one share must be issued. A public limited company must have an authorised share capital of at least £50,000 (and, if it is trading, issued capital of £50,000) see our Public Limited Company page for more information.
Share capital is the investment in a company by its members (owners). The amount is contributed in exchange for the share of ownership, a certificate being issued for each share. The memorandum of association of a limited company states the amount of authorised or nominal share capital. A company can increase or decrease its authorised share capital. Our staff will be happy to advise and assist you if the services required.
This is the official address of a company that is held on the Companies Register. All statutory documents from the Companies house will be sent to this address.

Generally it is up to the members to appoint the people they believe will run the company well on their behalf. The only restrictions that prevent anyone becoming a director in a private company limited by shares are: a) the person 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); b) the person must not be an undischarged bankrupt (except by permission of the court); c) in Scotland, anybody under the age of 16.
There must be at least one Director and one Company Secretary but there is no upper limit to the number of Directors. Your company must have at least 2 officers so, if there is to be only one Director, you must have a separate Company Secretary. If there is more than one Director, one of them may take on the additional role of Company Secretary.
This is a financial summary of the state of affairs of a company over the course of a year. It includes a profit and loss account, a balance sheet and a statement of cash flows.

There are strict deadlines for filing annual accounts and fines can be imposed for late filing.
The accounting reference date (ARD) is the date to which the company's accounts will be drawn up each year the company's financial year end. Normally, the ARD in each year will be fixed automatically as the anniversary of the last day of the month in which the company was incorporated. The ARD can be changed by filing Form 225 at Companies House. For assistance and free advice please contact our office.

If the first accounts cover a period of 12 months or less, the normal times allowed for delivering accounts apply: for a private company, 10 months from the ARD and for a public company, 7 months from the ARD.

It is an alternative corporate business vehicle that gives the benefits of limited liability but allows its members the flexibility of organising their internal structure as a traditional partnership. The LLP is a separate legal entity and, while the LLP itself will be liable for the full extent of its assets, the liability of the members will be limited. Visit section "Limited Liability Partnership" of our website for more information.
Though a Members Agreement is not compulsory when incorporating a Limited Liability Partnership we would strongly recommend that one be prepared either before or after incorporation. Because an LLP does not file a memorandum of Association or articles of Association, the Members Agreement acts as the LLP's Constitution. The content of the Members Agreement is crucial to the control of the activities of the members. We can assist you with preparation of a flexible Members Agreement, making any modifications you request to meet your business needs.
How is an LLP taxed?An LLP is taxed as a partnership. The internal structure of the LLP is similar to that of a partnership. The members provide working capital and share any profits.
