Director Appointments & Resignations — £29, fixed.
Directors appointed or removed at Companies House — filed same day, done correctly. Delivered online to every UK town, with the fee agreed in writing before we start.
Everything the fixed fee covers
- The right form — AP01, TM01 or CH01 — prepared and filed electronically
- New directors' identity verification handled, as Companies House now requires
- Service address set up so the new director's home address stays private
- A note on board minutes and consent so the paper trail matches the register
- Confirmation once Companies House processes the change, usually within a couple of days
Done in three simple steps
Message us on WhatsApp or the form with your company name or number. You get one fixed quote in writing — the price above, confirmed before anything starts.
We prepare the filing and send it for your approval. Where Companies House requires identity verification, it's a couple of minutes on your phone — we walk you through it.
Everything is submitted electronically to Companies House or HMRC, and we confirm to you the moment it's accepted — most electronic filings clear the same day.
The new Companies House identity rules
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, directors and people with significant control must now verify their identity with Companies House — mandatory for new appointments since 18 November 2025, and rolling out to existing directors at their next confirmation statement. Verified individuals receive an 11-character Personal Code used on filings, alongside the company's existing 6-character authentication code. It sounds like a lot; in practice it's a few minutes on a phone, and we handle the sequencing as part of every filing we submit.

Director Appointments & Resignations FAQs
Does Companies House charge for director changes?
No — appointment and termination filings are free at Companies House. Our fee is for doing it correctly: the right form, identity verification, the consent trail, and chasing it through to confirmation.
What does the new director need to do?
Consent to act, provide their details, and complete Companies House identity verification — a legal requirement for directors since November 2025. We walk them through it; the check itself takes a few minutes on a phone.
Can a director resign if the others disagree?
Yes — any director can resign at any time by giving notice, and we file the TM01 to make it official. Removing an unwilling director is different: that needs the proper shareholder procedure first, and we'll tell you honestly if your situation needs legal advice rather than a filing.
Is this service really available anywhere in the UK?
Yes — the whole engagement is online, so location is irrelevant. Records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. Same service, same fixed fee, everywhere.
