This specialised package allows leaseholders to take control of their building’s management by forming a dedicated Right to Manage company. It is designed specifically for flat owners who want to move away from expensive or inefficient landlords and manage their own service charges and repairs. Form My Company provides the precise legal framework required to ensure your RTM application stands up to scrutiny from the First-tier Tribunal.

What the Rights To Manage Company Package Includes

Right to Manage Articles of Association

The Articles of Association for an RTM company are not the standard “Model Articles” used by commercial businesses. Under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, these documents must follow a strict, prescribed format that defines the specific objects of the company as managing a particular premises. This legal constitution governs how decisions are made, how directors are appointed from among the leaseholders, and how membership is handled.

When you register through Form My Company, you receive a bespoke set of Articles that are fully compliant with the 2002 Act. This is vital because using the wrong template can lead to your “Notice of Claim” being rejected by the landlord or the courts. For ongoing compliance, many RTM directors also utilise a Company Secretarial service to ensure all future filings and minutes are maintained to this high legal standard.

Companies House Filing Fee (£100)

Every new company formation in the UK requires the payment of a mandatory statutory fee to the Registrar of Companies. This fee covers the administrative costs of processing your application, conducting name availability checks, and updating the central register of UK entities. For a Right to Manage company, this payment is a prerequisite for the issuance of your Certificate of Incorporation.

We include the £100 Companies House fee in our total price of £143.99 to provide total cost clarity for your residents’ association. By handling this payment on your behalf, we ensure there are no administrative delays or “payment pending” statuses that could stall your right to take over the building. Once active, you may also need to File a Confirmation Statement annually to keep the company in good standing, which we can handle for you.

Certificate of Incorporation

The Certificate of Incorporation is the “birth certificate” of your RTM company, acting as conclusive evidence that the entity has been legally formed under the Companies Act 2006. It displays your unique company number, the date of formation, and the jurisdiction of the registered office. This document is the primary proof required to demonstrate to your current landlord that a legal person now exists to exercise the right to manage.

You will receive a digital version of this certificate as soon as the registration is finalised. This allows you to immediately open a dedicated client premium bank account for your building’s service charges. If you require physical copies for official banking purposes, our Company Pack provides printed versions of your essential certificates.

Registered Office Address (London)

Every UK company must provide a physical address where official government mail and legal notices can be delivered. This address is a matter of public record and is where HMRC and Companies House send statutory correspondence. For RTM companies, using a professional Business Address prevents the personal home of a specific leaseholder from being listed publicly as the company’s official headquarters.

Form My Company provides a prestigious London registered office for your first year to ensure all your legal mail is handled professionally. This keeps the building’s management correspondence separate from your personal post and ensures that “service of process” documents are never missed. It provides a neutral, stable point of contact for your RTM company that doesn’t change if a particular director sells their flat.

Digital Statutory Registers

Statutory registers are a mandatory internal record of a company’s directors, members (the leaseholders), and persons with significant control. UK law requires these records to be kept up to date and made available for inspection if requested. For an RTM company, keeping an accurate Register of Members is particularly sensitive, as membership is usually tied to the ownership of the leases in the building.

We provide a full suite of digital registers that are pre-populated with the information provided during your application. These documents allow your board of directors to maintain high standards of corporate governance. To protect these directors from identity theft on the public record, we also offer Fraud Protection to monitor and alert you to any unauthorised changes made to your company data.

Digital Share Certificates or Membership Certificates

In a Right to Manage company, “ownership” is typically evidenced by membership certificates rather than traditional shares, as these companies are usually limited by guarantee. These certificates prove that a specific leaseholder is a formal member of the RTM company and holds voting rights on how the building is run. They are essential for verifying who is entitled to participate in the management of the block.

Your package includes the generation of these digital certificates for each founding member. This gives your residents’ group a tangible sense of ownership and provides the necessary documentation for future flat sales. Should your board change over time, we can assist with a Director Appointment to ensure the management structure remains legally accurate as new residents join.

Rights To Manage Company Formation & Registration Services FAQs

No. An RTM company is a statutory company created solely to exercise the Right to Manage under leasehold law. Its structure and documents are legally prescribed.

All qualifying leaseholders are entitled to become members, but not all must join for the RTM process to proceed.

Companies House incorporation is usually completed within one business day. The full RTM process (including notices) takes longer and follows statutory timelines.

No, an RTM company is specifically for managing the building, not for purchasing the freehold (Collective Enfranchisement). If your goal is to buy the building, you would typically form a standard Limited by Shares company or a different “Nominee” purchaser entity. RTM is a lower-cost alternative for those who want management control without the high capital expense of buying the freehold.

Because the RTM is a “Company Limited by Guarantee,” the personal liability of directors and members is usually limited to the amount of their guarantee, typically just £1. However, directors still have “fiduciary duties” under the Companies Act 2006 to act in the best interest of the company. To protect your directors, you might consider our Identity Verification Service to ensure all board members are correctly authenticated.
