As part of the process you are required to check the details
of the registered office, directors, location of registers,
shareholder information and standard industry classification
as well as pay the filing fee of £13. Sound familiar? It is
basically the same as filing an annual return but with a shorter
filing deadline; 14 days instead of 28.
A register must be kept of people within your company
with significant control. Who to include on the register is
determined by meeting one of a series of conditions and
includes people who:
• own more than 25% of the shares
• hold more than 25% of the voting rights
• have the right to remove the majority of the directors
• have the right to or actually exercise significant influence or
control
• hold the right to exercise or actually exercise significant
control over a trust or company that meets one of the
above
This is a public register and forms part of the confirmation
statement. To help protect against identity fraud the
residential address of anyone on the register will be
suppressed along with their day of birth; the month and year
of birth will still be visible.
“...we ensure that you are compliant and meet
your obligations....”
You can also opt to keep your statutory registers on the
public record instead of maintaining them yourself. There is
a clear administrative advantage to doing this but you must
consider that personal details such as full dates of birth and
residential addresses will be publicly available.
At David Allen we deal with the statutory compliance,
including submitting the necessary forms to Companies
House and maintaining the required registers, to ensure that
you are compliant and meet your obligations.

software support to hundreds of our clients of all types and
business sizes.
Our new Sage Support Scheme was recently launched
following continued requests from our clients wanting a
more personal support service from a close-knit team with an
agreed fee, rather than being charged on a time cost basis.
We are delighted to introduce and offer our clients a
complete package of services for their Sage 50 Accounts and
Sage 50 Payroll software from as little as £350.00 each year.
Our experienced and friendly team of specialists will go the
extra mile to make sure your query is answered as quickly
as possible. We answer every call in person and if one of
our experts is not available straight away, we will arrange to
call you back at a time convenient to you. As a result, you
will have the peace of mind in knowing that you are building
a long and lasting working relationship with us, where you
receive consistent and accurate advice that adds value to
your business and how you operate.
Within Sage there are a number of different features which
can be used to achieve the same result. At David Allen we
know your business and understand how you operate which
means we will give you proactive advice on the different
functionalities available that will work for you and your
business, improving efficiencies.
As an added bonus all members of the David Allen Sage
Support Scheme will be eligible to receive exclusive
discounts when your software is due for renewal or upgrade.
