Filing copy of shareholder written resolution to change company name
Use this filing copy of shareholders' written resolution to change your company name as the last step in the proper name changing process.
This filing copy of your shareholders' resolution makes getting the right paperwork to file at Companies House quick and easy. It is for use if you file documents at Companies House by posting them in. You do not need a filing copy of your resolution if you use the WebFiling service. Whether online or by post, you must file the right documentation within 15 days of your shareholders passing their resolution.
Once you have got board and shareholder approval of the name change, you need to:
-
send this filing copy of the resolution changing your company's registered name to Companies House;
-
send a completed copy of form NM01 to Companies House; and
-
pay the filing fee.
See Changing a company's name for full guidance on the process to follow if you want to change your company's registered name.
