What is a Director Appointment?

A director appointment is the formal process of adding a new director to a company’s board. Directors are legally responsible for running the company, and Companies House requires that all director changes be filed promptly.

Adding a director involves:

  • Updating the company’s statutory register of directors

  • Filing the appointment with Companies House (Form AP01)

  • Recording relevant personal information of the new director

  • Ensuring compliance with company law and regulations


Who This Service is For

Our Director Appointment Service is ideal for:

  • Companies expanding their board or adding new members

  • Startups appointing additional directors after incorporation

  • Businesses replacing outgoing directors or updating records

  • Companies needing to maintain accurate records for compliance or investor purposes

If you are unsure whether a director needs to be formally appointed, our team can guide you.

Why Filing on Time Matters

Failure to update director information can result in:
