| Business Start-Up: Legal Requirements | | |
A private company limited by shares in England and Wales must have at least one director, one shareholder, and may have a secretary.
You need at least one person to form this type of company. If there is only one director, and that director is a natural person in your company, that director can also act as the secretary.
A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. This requirement is met if the office of director is held by a natural person as a corporation sole or otherwise by virtue of an office.
You can register a sole director' company, if you are familiar with the secretaries duties and responsibilities, because all of them belongs to a sole director.
The directors and secretary of your company can also be shareholders.
The Companies Act imposes no restriction on the minimum age of company directors. However Companies House will actively discourage the appointment of anyone under the age of 16 from taking up a company directorship on the grounds that the individuals concerned may not fully understand the legal liabilities that go with the position and for the most part will not have the experience necessary to perform the duties of a company director.
Under the Companies Act 2006, there is no restriction on any or all of the members/shareholders being from an overseas country (i.e. outside the United Kingdom in terms of residency, domicile, citizenship, place of incorporation or all or any of those concepts).
There is no requirement for the officers of your company to be UK citizens or residents, nor for them to hold valid work permits.
Owning, or being an officer of a UK company does not, however, grant you any right to live or work in the UK if you are a foreign national.
Your company must have a registered office address within England or Wales; this is the official address of your company and will be on the public record as such.
Your company must hold its official company documents at its registered office address: its register of shareholders, and its constitutional documents.
So long as you maintain a registered office address in England or Wales, you can conduct your business from any place in the world: you do not have to run your business from your registered office address.

Each state has adopted its own statute which regulates the formation and governing of entities such as corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs). It's usually called the Business Corporation Act (BCA) or Business Corporation Law (BCL). These acts are usually based on (and are very similar to) the Revised Model Business Corporation Act (RMBCA). Section 5.01 of the RMBCA says that " ... each corporation must continuously maintain ... (1) a registered office ... and (2) a registered agent." In general, failure to maintain a registered agent results in the loss of the "good standing" of the corporation with the state. This affects your ability to do business in the state, can result in corporate contracts being deemed void or voidable, and can possibly result in personal penalties or fines on the officers and directors of the corporation.
Almost every state has enacted similar provisions in their own Business Corporation Act which require a registered agent or office for every Delaware corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or limited liability partnership (LLP) which does business in their state. The purpose of these provisions is to ensure that each company has an office where it may be found, and a person at that office on whom service can be effected for any notice or process in connection with litigation. The Secretary of State and other government agencies usually send any other official communications such as annual reports and tax notices to this address. The registered agent must have a physical address within the state of incorporation and be of legal age. An officer, director, employee or even a shareholder may act as the registered agent if they meet the state requirements. The registered agent may also be served legal summonses in a lawsuit.
The Delaware registered agent's name and address are included in the articles of incorporation and this information is a matter of public record. The primary duties of the registered agent are to provide a registered office of the corporation or LLC where legal papers and mail can be served or delivered. The registered agent is the local contact for the Secretary of State to get in touch with a Delaware corporation. Many corporations are in existence for decades and the registered agent is always there to provide a definite address. Over the course of time, corporations are sold, transferred or their is a change in the officers and directors, they sell their interests and company's move from one location to another. This gets expensive to the corporation when it occurs.
If you incorporate in the state where your business is located, an officer, director, or employee can act as your corporation's registered agent. Appointing Coddan as your registered agent allows your company the assurance that these critical documents are handled correctly and efficiently. Registered agent and registered office in the State of Delaware. Each limited liability company shall have and maintain in the State of Delaware: a registered office, which may but need not be a place of its business in the State of Delaware. A registered agent for service of process on the limited liability company, which agent may be either an individual resident of the State of Delaware whose business office is identical with the limited liability company's registered office, or a domestic corporation, or a domestic limited partnership, or a domestic limited liability company, or a domestic business trust, or a foreign corporation, or a foreign limited partnership, or a foreign limited liability company authorized to do business in the State of Delaware having a business office identical with such registered office, which is generally open during normal business hours to accept service of process and otherwise perform the functions of a registered agent, or the limited liability company itself.
A registered agent may change the address of the registered office of the limited liability company(ies) for which it is registered agent to another address in the State of Delaware by paying a fee and filing with the Secretary of State a certificate, executed by such registered agent, setting forth the address at which such registered agent has maintained the registered office for each of the limited liability companies for which it is a registered agent, and further certifying to the new address to which each such registered office will be changed on a given day, and at which new address such registered agent will thereafter maintain the registered office for each of the limited liability companies for which it is a registered agent.
Upon the filing of such certificate, the Secretary of State shall furnish to the registered agent a certified copy of the same under the Secretary's hand and seal of office, and thereafter, or until further change of address, as authorized by law, the registered office in the State of Delaware of each of the limited liability companies for which the agent is a registered agent shall be located at the new address of the registered agent thereof as given in the certificate. In the event of a change of name of any person acting as a registered agent of a limited liability company, such registered agent shall file with the Secretary of State a certificate, executed by such registered agent, setting forth the new name of such registered agent, the name of such registered agent before it was changed and the address at which such registered agent has maintained the registered office for each of the limited liability companies for which it is a registered agent, and shall pay a fee.

A change of name of any person acting as a registered agent of a limited liability company as a result of a merger or consolidation of the registered agent, with or into another person which succeeds to its assets and liabilities by operation of law, shall be deemed a change of name for purposes of this section. Filing a certificate under this section shall be deemed to be an amendment of the certificate of formation of each limited liability company affected thereby and each such limited liability company shall not be required to take any further action with respect thereto, to amend its certificate of formation. Any registered agent filing a certificate under this section shall promptly, upon such filing, deliver a copy of any such certificate to each limited liability company affected thereby.

There shall be attached to such certificate a statement of each affected limited liability company ratifying and approving such change of registered agent. Upon such filing, the successor registered agent shall become the registered agent of such limited liability companies as have ratified and approved such substitution and the successor registered agent's address, as stated in such certificate, shall become the address of each such limited liability company's registered office in the State of Delaware. The Secretary of State shall then issue a certificate that the successor registered agent has become the registered agent of the limited liability companies so ratifying and approving such change and setting out the names of such limited liability companies. Filing of such certificate of resignation shall be deemed to be an amendment of the certificate of formation of each limited liability company affected thereby and each such limited liability company shall not be required to take any further action with respect thereto to amend its certificate of formation.
The registered agent of one or more limited liability companies may resign without appointing a successor registered agent by paying a fee and filing a certificate of resignation with the Secretary of State, but such resignation shall not become effective until 30 days after the certificate is filed. The certificate shall contain a statement that written notice of resignation was given to each affected limited liability company at least 30 days prior to the filing of the certificate by mailing or delivering such notice to the limited liability company at its address last known to the registered agent and shall set forth the date of such notice. After receipt of the notice of the resignation of its registered agent, the limited liability company for which such registered agent was acting shall obtain and designate a new registered agent, to take the place of the registered agent so resigning. If such limited liability company fails to obtain and designate a new registered agent as aforesaid prior to the expiration of the period of 30 days after the filing by the registered agent of the certificate of resignation, the certificate of formation of such limited liability company shall be deemed to be canceled.
After the resignation of the registered agent shall have become effective as provided in this section and if no new registered agent shall have been obtained and designated in the time and manner aforesaid, service of legal process against each limited liability company for which the resigned registered agent had been acting shall thereafter be upon the Secretary of State.
Appointing Coddan as your registered agent allows your company the assurance that this important service is handled correctly and efficiently. We represent a multitude of clients involved of all types of business entities. It is our job to represent and service your corporation, profit or non profit, your limited liability company or limited partnership. The registered agent receives many forms of correspondence on behalf of the entity, just to name a few, they are: service of process, lawsuits and complaints, annual reports. Official mail from Secretary of State. Official mail from the State Division of Taxation. Solicitations from third parties.
The registered agent must be registered as such within the State of incorporation. The agent must have a permanent and physical address within the State. The registered agent is the name and address that is of public record for all the world to see. Registered agent service is important and it is not something you can get for a ridiculously low price. There are costs involved to the agent. Remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. Don't be fooled by company's offering a extremely low fee, they will be out of business soon and you will be out of luck.
It is our job to: accepting any legal service of process. Forward any official documents or tax notices from the Secretary of State. Forward all of your First Class mail delivered to our Delaware address forwarding within the United States.
Benefits of Coddan' registered agent service: stability - if you move locations, you do not have to worry about changing your registered agent address with the state. Anonymity - the registered agent name and address is of public record. With Coddan as your Delaware registered agent, our address will be listed in the public documents. Reliability - we provide real-time notice of litigation to you, and forward all official state documents and franchise tax notices. Professionalism - many corporations use a separate company as registered agent. The professionalism of Coddan' registered agent team ensures that your company's important documents are handled with the utmost speed and reliability. This allows you to promptly respond to a lawsuit (or official state communication) and avoids the specter of a Default Judgment, which could cost you tens of thousands of dollars to overturn. And all this expertise is available at the most cost-effective price.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT? The benefits to having a commercial registered agent are as follows:
Be anonymous. In some states, the officers and directors are not required to be listed in the articles of incorporation. The registered agent and address is the only name and contact address that is available for public view. Therefore you will not get all the annoying telephone calls from solicitors. That's worth the registered agent fee itself.
Stable location. Most company's move their address several times in the first few years after incorporation. This is a direct result of the company's growth and prosperity. If this is the case, the company would have to file amended documents and pay filing fee to the secretary of state so they stay in compliance with the law. Having a commercial registered agent avoids this distraction from the company's main focus, making money.
Convenience. You can order or renew your registered agent service 24 hours a day via our website. You can order additional states with ease if your business is expanding into other states. If so, your company will have to file a certificate for authorization to conduct business in that state and a registered agent is required also.
Reliable service. We are one of the few national corporate service company's in the United States today. We are not a local filing or service company in one state which sells services in all 50 states occasionally. We represent clients in all 50 states, all day, everyday. If you want to avoid the problems with your statutory representation, then you are in the right place.
Professional service. The registered agent should be a corporate service company for the simple reason to provide continuing service to your corporation or LLC as you grow and expand. If your company needs any additional corporate services in the future, you can get it with ease. In additional, if you expand into additional states, you will receive only invoice with all your registered agent service on it.
Avoid embarrassment. Don't let your employees or business associates see the company gets served by the Sheriff. The fact is every company gets involved in a lawsuit for one reason or another during their lifetime. Whether your company is the plaintiff in a suit, you are going to get served with all sorts of document, counterclaims, and notices. With commercial registered agent service, we accept all that embarrassing paperwork and forward it to you in a non-discrete way.
CAN YOU ACT AS YOUR OWN REGISTERED AGENT? Yes, you or any other individual who meets the state requirements and who agrees to act as agent for the company may serve as registered agent. However, keep in mind that the registered agent's name and address are made part of the public record. It may be advantageous to use a professional registered agent service if your business is a home based or retail business. Coddan is dedicated to the organisation, creation, modification, merger, liquidation, and dissolution of corporations, and the firm's staff are experienced in all facets of corporate secretarial services. Coddan routinely provides certificates of good standing for companies, drafts minutes of meetings for shareholders and directors, in addition to providing expert advice where required.
