Limited Companies - New Obligations

24 January 2007

New legislation has been introduced, effective from 1 January 2007 which imposes new obligations on limited companies concerning the information which a company must display on its correspondence

It is therefore now necessary to state all the company information which would previously have been included on your business letters, in emails, on any other forms of company correspondence and on all the company's websites.

As a reminder, the information required is;

1. The name of the company (including the word "limited")
2. The company registration number;
3. The registered office; and
4. The place of registration (e.g. England and Wales)

This applies to all limited companies so if you operate through several companies then each individual company should state its particular details on all its own correspondence and websites.

The obligations are now in force and if you haven’t done so already, changes should therefore be made as soon as possible.

As was the case previously in relation to paper correspondence, failure to comply with these requirements can give rise to financial penalties for the company concerned and even the individual company officer responsible for ensuring compliance
