A private limited company must have at least one human (natural person) director.

There is no maximum limit to how many directors a company may have prescribed by law.
Once we receive the completed instruction form, our Company Secretarial Team will invite the new director to complete a quick online ID check. After the ID check is approved, we submit the director’s details to Companies House, who will email the unique personal code directly to the new director. The director must then provide us with this code so we can file the appointment. Companies House usually confirms the new director appointment within 24 working hours.

Directors do not have to be shareholders or persons with significant control (PSC). However, if existing shareholders want to offer shares to the directors, the director will also need to be added as a shareholder (and a PSC if the director has 25% or more shares in the company). We recommend purchasing our Company Secretarial Service which includes Director Appointment & Resignation, Issue and Transfer of Shares and Confirmation Statement Service included at a discounted price.
