Companies Register

Some people may be banned (‘disqualified’ or ‘prohibited’) from being a director. A banned director can't:

• act as a director or promoter of a company or
• take part in the management of a company (either directly or indirectly).

The name, address and appointment status of your company directors must be kept up to date on the Companies Register.

Your annual return, which includes your address, and details of directors and shareholders, must be updated on the Companies Register every year.

When you apply to remove your company from the Companies Register, our guide can help you complete the process.
