Why Choose Filing HQ for Director Resignations?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the process take?

The process typically takes 1-2 days once the details are submitted. We file to Companies House immediately after you submit the resignation details, and approval is usually granted within 1 working day.

What details do I need to provide?

You will need to provide the resignation date for the director. The director's existing details are already on file with Companies House, so you only need to specify when the resignation takes effect.

Can a director resign immediately?

Yes, a director can resign with immediate effect. The resignation date can be today or any date in the past (within reason). However, you should check your company's articles of association and any service agreements, as these may specify notice periods or other requirements.

What happens if a company has no directors after a resignation?

A company must have at least one director at all times. If a resignation would leave the company with no directors, you must appoint a new director before or at the same time as the resignation. Our platform will alert you if this situation arises.

Does the service include filing to Companies House?

Yes, the service includes filing the TM01 (Termination of Appointment of Director) form with Companies House. We handle the entire filing process on your behalf, ensuring all information is accurate and compliant with Companies House requirements.
