What forms do I need to fill in when I receive the company registration documents?

When you receive the Ltd company it will already be formed and will only require three forms to be completed as follows:

Form 288A (x2)

One form is for the Company Secretary to complete and has the relevant box marked with a Cross towards the top of the form.

The other form is for the Company Director to complete also indicated by the relevant cross. Please note that the director must put his date of birth and business occupation in the boxes provided.

The forms both need to be completed with full addresses.

The signatures need to be at the bottom of the forms in the box marked Consent Signature. (The resigning formation Director and Secretary have already signed in the boxes below.)

Form 287

This form is for the registration of the companies Registered office (the address to which Companies House /the Inland Revenue and other government bodies and interested parties will send correspondence. This address can be and often is the same as the Trading address (the address the day to day business is handled from).

All that is required is the insertion of the address which you would like to be the registered office (this may be your home address if you wish).

Do I need a Registered Office?

Yes. Every Ltd company formation within England & Wales requires a Registered Office in either of these countries. Ltd company formations in Scotland or Northern Ireland have to have an office in their respective countries. Top Of Page
