All the documents you need to appoint a new director
These documents allow you to appoint a natural person or a corporate entity to be a director of a UK private limited company. The appointee could also be a shareholder or not.
The Companies Act 2006 allows you to follow any of three procedures: by directors’ resolution, through approval at a members’ general meeting, or by way of written resolution.
As with all Net Lawman documents, the drafting notes give you comments and suggestions on every template enclosed in the set.
