Director Appointment & Resignation Filings
We handle all your director appointment and resignation filings with Companies House, keeping your Cardiff business fully compliant and giving you one less thing to worry about. Quick, accurate, and sorted within the 14-day deadline every time.
What we cover
From new appointments to resignations and all the paperwork in between, we manage the full process so your company records stay accurate and compliant.
Director Appointments
Complete AP01 filing, board resolutions, and consent forms for new directors joining your company.
Director Resignations
TM01 submission and internal documentation when a director steps down or leaves the business.
Statutory Register Updates
Keeping your company's internal registers accurate and up to date after every directorship change.
Companies House Liaison
Direct communication with Companies House to track filings and resolve any queries quickly.
Keeping your company records accurate and compliant
When a director joins or leaves your business, Companies House needs to know within 14 days. Miss that deadline and you risk penalties, public record errors, and unnecessary stress. We handle the entire process for you: preparing board resolutions, director consent forms, and filing the AP01 or TM01 with Companies House so everything is submitted correctly and on time.
Most of our Cardiff clients are small business owners who need this sorted quickly and properly, without having to decode company law or navigate the WebFiling system themselves. We check your Articles of Association, prepare all the paperwork, submit the filing online, and confirm when it has been accepted, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
We make sure your statutory records are always accurate, so you can focus on running your business.
More information
What happens after we file
Once Companies House confirms the change, we update your internal statutory registers and let you know if HMRC, your bank, or any other stakeholders need notifying. If the director is on payroll, we will flag that so your payroll records stay in sync. If they hold shares or have signing authority, we will remind you to update those arrangements too.
Whether you are bringing on a business partner, replacing a retiring director, or tidying up after a resignation, the process is the same: straightforward, compliant, and handled end to end. We have worked with sole directors in Pontypridd, growing trades businesses in Barry, and multi-director companies across Cardiff, so we know the questions that come up and the details that matter.
Why it matters to get this right
Your public register at Companies House is a legal record. If it is wrong or out of date, it can cause problems with contracts, bank accounts, insurance, and HMRC. It also affects who has authority to sign on behalf of the company and who is personally liable as a director. Getting the filing done properly means no surprises later, and no frantic calls when someone checks your company details and finds them out of step.
We treat every filing with the same care, whether it is your first director appointment or your fifth change in as many years. You will always know where things stand, what has been submitted, and what happens next.
Worth considering
Confirmation Statement Filing
We check your Companies House details, confirm PSC, SIC codes and share information, then submit your Confirmation Statement (CS01) on time to keep your company compliant.
Confirmation Statement Filing→Registered Office Address Service
Use a Cardiff registered office address for your company. Official Companies House and HMRC post is received, logged and forwarded so your home address stays private.
