Companies Act 2006 - Letter to companies

As part of Companies Act 2006 customer communications, Companies House is writing to companies to advise about the final implementation on 1st October 2009. A letter and brief guide will be sent to every registered office address during August and September. 

The guide is in the form of a 'Z-card', which is a credit-card sized card designed to fold out to an A3 leaflet. The convenient size allows customers to easily use and retain as a handy reminder of the changes. It provides an overview of the key changes being introduced in October as well as a summary of the changes that have already taken place, and customers are directed to the Companies House website for more detailed information.

This is a large scale exercise and we are aware that over 4,000 registered offices cover more than 500,000 companies. To make it easier for agents and intermediaries who look after large numbers of companies to manage this, we will send only one copy to the registered office and offer an electronic version for sending on to individual companies.
