We are rapidly approaching another milestone in the life of the Companies Act 2006 as 1st October brings into force additional sections. Over the coming days and weeks I will post some information relating to those that I think are likely to have an impact on day to day operations of a company.
There has been a slight change in the rules governing how and where a company must display it's name. From 1st October 2006, a company will have to display their name anywhere they do business but will no longer have to put it on the outside of the premises. The regulations are such that the Company name must be able to be read with the naked eye and it must be positioned in a way that it is easily seen by any visitor to the premises. This is a departure from the position under the 1985 Act which specifically stated that names had to be on the outside of such premises.
A company is required to have its registered name displayed at its registered office and also at the place where its company records are stored.
