Yes, a director must be 16 or over and not previously been disqualified from being a director. Your company must always have at least one director. Directors are legally responsible for running the company and making sure company accounts and reports are properly prepared.
Other Considerations
Directors do not have to live in the UK but companies must have a UK registered office address.
Directors’ names and personal information are publicly available from Companies House.
A Director cannot be an ‘undischarged bankrupt’ – unless they have permission from the court. The restrictions placed on a person when they’re made bankrupt usually end when they’re free from their debts (known as ‘discharged’). You can check if someone has been discharged using the Insolvency Register.
Directors must provide a service address (or ‘correspondence’ address), which will also be publicly available. If you use their home address, they can ask Companies House to remove it from the register.
