    Company secretaries no longer needed?

    Was on the phone to someone from HBOS today and they told me that soon Ltd companies will no longer require secretaries – anyone else heard about this?

    True - see below for explanation

    Company Secretary

    For private companies only, the appointment of a company secretary becomes optional from 6th April 2008.

    the choice to continue with an existing appointed secretary is optional,
    if you decide to dispense with an existing company secretary after 6th April, you will need to advise Companies House using form 288b,
    you will not need to amend your Articles of Association unless there is a specific reference to a company having a secretary,

    From the 6th April it will be possible to have a sole director and no company secretary
