Ltd Company

[pvcprinting]

We are looking to ensure complete compliance with company law. This includes revamping our stationary

What is the minimum required concerning running a limited company, where is this information best found and are there any examples posted

Our current stationary has our company number on it but having looked at it again does not state registered in england and wales!

With the abolition of the requirement for a company secratary where does the registered offices now lie? (our accountant acted as our sec and hence their premises were our reg office - this is now not the case) is the registered office now at the business premises and where is it required to be changed

Thanks all

Regards

Hi Pete

I had some information on file from when I had a question about my business stationery last year. I can't remember where I got it from, though, I'm afraid.

As far as I know, you can choose your registered address and it doesn't have to be at your premises. So if you wanted to keep it as your accountant's address, you could, as long as (s)he was happy. I would imagine there'd be a yearly fee for using the address.

Anyway, here's the information...

From 1st January 2007, Company Law requires UK Limited Companies to show on their website and e-mails the standard statutory information which should be shown on the bottom of every Limited Companys headed notepaper:

• The address of their Registered Office
• The Company registration number
• Place of registration (e.g. the company is registered in England and Wales)

This information needs to be shown on all business e-mails and therefore it is recommended that Limited Companies show it as part of their standard e-mail footer.

For websites this information does not need to appear on every page. It could be shown on the front page or perhaps on the about us or legal info pages.

Under the UK E-Commerce regulations the minimum information that must be shown on any Limited Company's website is as follows:

• The name, geographic address and e-mail address of the service provider
• The name of the organisation with which the company is contracting must be given so if the company is operating under a trade name details must be shown e.g. XYZ is the trading name of ABC Limited
• Registered Office (see above)
• Registration number and the place of registration (see above)
• If the business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details including any registration number
• If the business is registered for VAT the number should be shown.

Prices given should make clear whether they are inclusive or exclusive of VAT (and delivery costs).

Hope it helps you
