As a director, you’re legally responsible for running the company and making sure information is sent to Companies House. You also have general duties you must adhere to in line with the Companies House 2006.
Director’s Responsibilities to Companies House:
This includes:
- The confirmation statement
- The annual accounts, even if they’re dormant
- Any change of director or their personal details
- A change to your company’s registered office
- Allotment of shares
- Registration of charges (mortgage)
- Any change in your company’s people with significant control (PSC) details
You can hire other people to manage some of these things day-to-day (for example, an accountant) but you’re still legally responsible for your company’s records, accounts and performance.
