Have they got me by the round-ones?

Spoke to my 'Managed Service' company to day. They confirmed that I am the only director and sole owner of my company.

Presumably then I can carry on trading under that name without using their services?

Could some hazzard a guess?

Don't guess, it's your livelihood. Read the contract, or get a lawyer to read it for you. Better still, walk away and start again properly.

Ask for all of the company documentation. They may charge a small admin fee for it but would be good to get it before walking away.

Who's the Company Secretary? I bet it's a company controlled by them. If so, remember to get them to resign.

Then, if the company's yours you are free to do what you like subject to any contract you signed.

Unless things have changed in the last few years, you (as the director) can just fill in the form (from companies house) to remove the existing secretary and apoint a new one. You don't need their agreement.
