You will be registered (incorporated) as the founding director and shareholder of the company, this means that you can open your doors for equity or debt financing from other sources since the company is actually registered in a real persons name who is responsible for the operations of the company.
All companies must have officers. This means at least one director and a company secretary for a private limited company, and at least two directors and a company secretary for a public limited company. Section 283(1) of the Act says every company must have a secretary. Section 283(2) states that a sole director cannot also be the secretary. Generally it is up to the members to appoint the people they believe will run the company well on their behalf. The only restrictions that prevent anyone becoming a director are: the person must not have been disqualified by a court from acting as a company director (unless he or she has been given leave (permission) to act by a court for a particular company); the person must not be an undischarged bankrupt (except with leave of the court); in Scotland, anybody under the age of 16; and for a PLC or their subsidiaries, anybody over the age of 70 unless specifically approved by a general meeting of the company.
Not only is you application processed faster, it is much more accurate and you can even modify any of the previously entered details; and it is very economical too. Other agents form companies using agent director then resign and transfer the shares to your directors. The presence of these agent directors and shareholders leads to confusion and delay when opening bank accounts, or anything involving credit transactions for your company like opening a merchant account or lease arrangements.
