Nominee Director For Trading Business Company: A nominee director serves as a proxy for the owner(s) of a company and acts on their behalf. The names of the company's beneficial owners are not disclosed to any third party. Nominee directors do not usually have an active role or function in the actual business of the company. A nominee director is someone who in fact is renting his or her name to you. In other words, the name of this person is used and not yours for the incorporation documents. Coddan will act as Nominee Company Director for limited companies on an annual basis. We provide the beneficial owner with a General Power of Attorney empowering him to run the business, manage the company's activities and open and operate the company's bank accounts. We will also include pre-signed, undated letters of resignation from nominee director, plus Notarised and Apostilled copy of Nominee Director' passport. Nominee Director will NOT be a signatory to the company bank account nor will run the company bank account on behalf of the company.

Nominee Director For Trading Companies: Nominee Company Director would become part of the company day-to-day business. In particular, Nominee Director would raise invoices, sign contracts and other business documentation. Obviously, the Nominee Director would remain fully responsible to act only in accordance with the wishes of the owners of the company, insofar as they are legitimate. Coddan will act as Nominee Company Director for limited companies on an annual basis. At this stage, the Nominee Director would also control over the bank account of the company (under a separate agreement we may provide this service to act as secondary signatory only, not the primary signatory). It is the only truly effective solution to shield the beneficial owner of the company from any undesired link to the company. Obviously, it is also the most costly one, because it would involve management fees based on time spent.

Coddan offers company formation, ready made company registration for UK limited companies. We offer electronic filing & formation services. This page is designed to give Company Directors an overview as to their responsibilities associated with being a director of a limited company experiencing financial difficulties. As a director, the law says it is up to you must keep control of the company and to seek assistance if necessary. Directors of limited liability companies are personally liable for the debts of a company if trading continues after there is no longer any reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvency. To assist directors in dealing with a potential crisis the following guidelines should be followed:
Avoid incurring further credit unless you believe that the company can pay for the goods or services ordered; If assets are disposed of ensure that market value is achieved; Do not seek to pay one creditor in priority to another; Continuing to trade whilst the company was insolvent; Always Keep proper accounting records; Always Pay Crown taxes on time; Always submit returns and accounts to Companies House on time; Always submit tax returns on time.
Important Links
Every private limited company needs to have at least one director (and a secretary). There is no maximum limit to the amount of directors you can have. Companies must keep a register of directors and secretaries, which must be available for public inspection. Directors are not generally required to own share's in the companies that they manage, but there is nothing to prevent them from doing so, and they often do. The directors are responsible for ensuring that the company does everything that it is obliged to do by law. All directors are personally responsible for ensuring that the accounts are prepared, circulated to the members (those who own the company), and delivered to Companies House on time.
Suggested Reading
The following will explain potential liabilities that may arise due to either wrongful trading fraudulent trading, preferences, transactions at an undervalue or misfeasance. As a director you may have considered your actions were justified at the time and you may be able to defend that position. Directors should never ignore the problems hoping they may go away.
Appointing Directors. Every private limited company must have at least one company director. The first directors (though there may be only one of them) are appointed by the shareholders who form the company. They are often selected from among the shareholders. They can be employees of the company, but do not have to be. They are sometimes required, under the company's Articles of Association, to retire by rotation, or after a set period of time. Subsequent appointments must follow procedures set out in the Articles of Association. For example, retiring directors may offer themselves for re-election at the AGM, the shareholders' annual general meeting. If you are appointed a director but have no executive position within the company, you will be classed as a non-executive. As a non-executive director, you may have nothing to do with the day-to-day running of the company.
Even so, you will still carry all the same legal responsibilities as the other directors. Even if you have never been appointed a director, you could be classed as a shadow director if the other directors are 'accustomed to act' under your instructions. It could also happen if you resign your directorship but continue making decisions and giving instructions to employees. As a shadow director you would carry the same legal responsibilities, and be subject to the same penalties, as other directors. Some people are debarred from becoming directors. Auditors may not be appointed directors of the companies for which they act in their professional capacity. People who have been disqualified may not be appointed. Undischarged bankrupts may not be appointed unless they have first obtained leave from the court which imposed the bankruptcy. The appointment, departure or change of particulars of a director or directors must be reported to Companies House within 14 days, using form 288a/b/c (Forms 288 (a), 288 (b) and 288 (c)).

Exercising Directors' Powers. Check what limits there are on directors' activities in your company. You must pursue the objectives listed in the Memorandum of Association. Most companies list a wide range of objectives ('objects'). This is to give directors the flexibility to carry out any type of business. Some companies list only specific objectives. If, for example, the objects clause only lists running a taxi service, the directors cannot switch to running a car repair business. If the directors act outside the company's powers, the company may have an action against them. You can only change the company's main objectives by getting shareholder agreement to a new Memorandum. You must act within the powers granted in the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Memorandum normally sets out a list of powers which the directors may exercise in pursuing the main objective(s) of the company.
For example, powers to acquire similar businesses, to take shares in other companies, to borrow money or to sell the undertaking or part of its property. The Articles of Association define the rules governing the directors. For example, how new directors are to be appointed and how many directors are required to provide a quorum. In exercising directors' powers, you are required to exhibit 'such a degree of skill as may reasonably be expected' from a person with your knowledge and experience. For example, a chartered accountant who had been a finance director for several years would be expected to know if the company was trading while insolvent. You must also exercise a degree of care in your actions as a director. The test of an acceptable level of care is what a reasonable person would do in looking after their own affairs. You are generally not liable for the actions of your fellow directors, if you knew nothing about them and took no part in them, though it is dangerous to turn a blind eye.

COMPANY DIRECTORS. INTRODUCTION
Each limited company formed in the United Kingdom must have a company secretary, and a minimum of one director and shareholder. The company secretary and the company director can't be the same person. As a director of a private limited company, you normally have a maximum of 10 months from the accounting reference date in which to deliver your company's accounts to the Registrar. The accounting reference date is the date to which your accounts must be prepared.
The company secretary is one of the two officers that every company must have to fulfil the basic requirements of UK Company Law. Even if the director conducts day-to-day business entirely alone it is a requirement that another person takes on the role of secretary. Coddan performs this role for clients who do not have a suitable person willing to accept the role or for non-UK residents who require a signatory within the United Kingdom.

The Companies Act 1985 requires every private company to appoint at least one director and every public company to appoint at least two. Directors usually manage the business of the company on a day-to-day basis. However, the Act does not require this, nor does it confer on them any power to do so, either individually or as a body. Under the common law, a company's powers must be exercised by its members in general meeting unless its memorandum or articles of association provide otherwise.
Several factors must be taken into account when determining the extent of the directors' powers. For example, the directors cannot exercise a power that the company itself does not have. A company's powers are set out in the objects clause in its memorandum of association.
Most articles include what is known as a general management clause. This clause usually gives the directors all the powers necessary to manage the company on a day-to-day basis. The powers are limited by the objects clause and other provisions in the memorandum or articles. In addition, the Act gives the members certain rights and powers that cannot be excluded by the articles.
The articles are deemed to be a contract between the members and the company which governs the way the company is run. It follows that the only way the shareholders can interfere in matters delegated to the directors is to change that contract (i.e. to amend the articles by special resolution so as to restrict the directors' discretion) or to issue directions in accordance with procedures contained in the articles. Even then, such resolutions or directions will have no effect on the validity of any transaction previously entered into by the directors on behalf of the company.
Company directors are appointed by the shareholders on whose behalf they manage the company. The Companies Act requires disclosure of the first directors and the company secretary of any company, on registration. This statement must accompany the memorandum of association, and contain the directors' "consent to accept office". The company must notify the registrar of companies within 14 days of any change in its directors, or in the details set out in the register of directors. Any notification of a change in the composition of the board must be accompanied by a signed consent for the new director to act as such.
It is not normally practicable for the members to manage the business on a day-to-day basis. Every matter requiring a decision would have to be put to a general meeting called in accordance with the formal requirements of the Act. This would be impossible for a company with hundreds of shareholders. Even where there are relatively few members, it is easier for them to manage the company as directors rather than as members. This is mainly because the formalities associated with board meetings are less onerous, but also because that is the way most companies are run and doing it in any other way would complicate matters unnecessarily and probably involve significant legal expenses.
In practice, the articles of most companies delegate wide powers of management to the directors. Generally speaking, these powers must be exercised by the board of directors collectively (i.e. at a board meeting). However, the articles may allow the directors to act by written resolution. They may also allow the directors to delegate their powers to some other individual or body.
In the UK, all directors are members of the same board and usually have one vote each. Under this unitary system, each director has an equal say in matters put to the board (although the chairman may sometimes have a casting vote). Articles usually allow the board to appoint one or more of the directors to some sort of executive office within the company (e.g. managing director) and to delegate any of its powers to them. These executive directors are usually salaried and manage the business of the company on a full- or part-time basis. Directors who are not executives are known as non-executive directors.
The function of the board will be to take decisions that are outside the authority of the executive directors and to set the company's strategic objectives. Non-executive directors often play a key role in monitoring the performance of the executives and setting their pay.
On the continent, two-tier board systems are more common. The company is managed on a day-to-day basis by an executive board which is appointed by and accountable to a supervisory board. The supervisory board fulfils the monitoring role performed by non-executive directors in the UK and may include shareholder and employee representatives. The system is appealing to purists as it places the non-executives above the executives in the structural hierarchy. However, it is debatable whether these structural differences make it any easier for the part-time directors to supervise the executives.
The main advantage of the unitary system is said to be that it enables the non-executive directors to contribute more effectively to the formulation of the company's strategy and to monitor the performance of the executives; its major disadvantage is that it is more difficult for the non-executive directors to be impartial and independent. These criticisms were addressed in respect of listed companies in 1992 by the Committee on the Financial Aspects of Corporate Governance, chaired by Sir Adrian Cadbury. The committee produced a code of best practice for listed companies (the Cadbury Code) which made recommendations on the constitution of boards of directors and the role of non-executive directors.
These recommendations were subsequently consolidated, together with the recommendations of the Greenbury Committee on directors' remuneration, into the Combined Code on Corporate Governance. The Combined Code recommends that the board should include non-executive directors of sufficient calibre and number for their views to carry significant weight in the board's decisions, and that non-executive directors should comprise not less than one-third of the board (Combined Code, para. A.3.1). It also recommends that a majority of the non-executive directors should be independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with the exercise of their independent judgement.
Non-executive directors considered by the board to be independent in this sense should be identified in the annual report (Combined Code, para. A.2.2). The main purpose of this recommendation is to allow investors to make their own assessments as to the independence of the non-executive directors and therefore to make their own judgements as to whether the company is complying with these and other recommendations in the Code (e.g. regarding the constitution of the audit, remuneration and nomination committees).
All directors, whether executive or non-executive, have the same responsibilities and liabilities. These responsibilities and liabilities extend to those who act as if they were directors, although not formally appointed, and to "shadow directors", that is those in accordance with whose directions or instructions the company's board of directors is accustomed to act. The responsibilities and liabilities of directors to the Company and its shareholders are governed by the Companies Acts 1985-1989, Insolvency Act 1986 and Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986. The directors may have personal liability under other legislation, for example the Theft Act, legislation relating to workplace health and safety, financial services and environmental legislation.
The basic duties of a director of any UK company are laid down in Company Law. To quote from Butterworths Company Law Guide: "Directors must act bona fide in the interests of the company and must not exercise their powers for any collateral purpose. A director must not place himself in a position where his duty to the company and his personal interests conflict and he must not profit from his position as a director. In addition, a director must exercise reasonable care and such skill as might reasonably be expected of a person of his knowledge and experience." There are two things worth noting here. One is that the directors duty is to the company and not to shareholders, so shareholders cannot usually sue in English law for perverse acts by directors except in the case of outright fraud.
Secondly there is no requirement for particular expertise when directors are appointed - so if an idiot with no financial knowledge whatsoever is appointed to the position of financial director, and he performs to the best of his abilities, then that is OK. Indeed, as the roles of individual directors are not defined, there is no necessity to even have a "finance director".
Company law actually says nothing about director selection, very little about their appointment terms and almost nothing on the operation of company boards. As a result, much of this depends on historic practice in the United Kingdom.
DIRECTORIAL AUTHORITY
The Articles may confer power upon the board to appoint a managing director and executive director. The managing director usually accepts a greater measure of responsibility for the company's overall affairs as a consequence of delegation by the rest of the board. An executive director accepts responsibility for one particular area of the company's activities, such as a sales, marketing or financial director.
The shareholders do not retain much control of the day-to-day administration of the company's affairs. They often do not have much influence on the formulation and implementation of policy either. This abdication of power into the hands of the board of directors is often recognised in the articles of association, which are a contract between the company and the shareholders.
DIRECTORS' AUTHORITY TO BIND THE COMPANY
The directors and secretary exercise their managerial powers as agents of the company. The power of the directors to bind the company is determined by agency principles. An agent's power to bind his principal is based upon the concepts of actual, usual and apparent authority.
Directors' authority to bind the company: actual authority is the power which the principal has expressly conferred upon his agent. Usual authority is determined by the nature of the agency itself, and is the power which an agent of that type usually has. Apparent authority is where the principal represents to third parties that the agent's authority extends beyond his actual or usual authority.
A company officer has the power to bind his company to the extent of his authority, be it actual, usual or ostensible.
DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITIES
Directors responsibilities: keeping proper books of accounts and preparing accounts for presentation to the company's shareholders. Filing accounts and returns annually with the Registrar of Companies. Informing the Registrar of Companies of the appointment or retirement of any director or the company secretary. Informing the Registrar of Companies of any change in the situation of the company's registered office. Appointing auditors. Calling and holding annual general meetings (at which annual accounts are presented). Making sure that the company acts strictly in accordance with the powers and rules set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
DIRECTORS LIABILITIES
If a company in insolvent liquidation can be shown to have traded while insolvent before the liquidation, the Court may make an Order under the Insolvency Act 1986 requiring directors to contribute personally to make-up any deficiency in the company's assets - providing the directors knew, or ought to have known, that there was no alternative to an insolvent liquidation and failed to take every step necessary to minimise loss to creditors. Trading while insolvent in these circumstances is known as "wrongful trading".
Directors of a company which has gone into insolvent liquidation may also be ordered to contribute personally if it can be shown that any business had been carried on prior to liquidation for any fraudulent purpose or intent to defraud creditors. This is known as "fraudulent trading".
DIRECTORS DISQUALIFICATION
Disqualifications often relate to new companies deliberately established to avoid the debts of insolvent predecessors. A disqualification order is made by the court, and the 1986 Act provides three "divisions" of disqualification. There are disqualifications for general misconduct in connection with companies, disqualifications for unfitness either where a company has become insolvent or where it has been investigated, and other cases of disqualification. If a person is convicted of an indictable offence in connection with the promotion, formation, management or liquidation of a company, or with the receivership or management of a company's property, a disqualification order may be made against him. The maximum period of disqualification under this section is five years if the order is made by a court of summary jurisdiction, or 15 years in any other case.
Persistent Breaches Of Companies Legislation: A disqualification order may also be made against a director for being persistently in default of the statutory provisions under which returns, accounts or documents must be filed with or disclosed to the registrar of companies. A "persistent default" arises where, in the five years ending with the date of application for the disqualification order, the director has been adjudged guilty of three or more defaults in relation to those provisions. The maximum period for disqualification under this section is five years.
Fraud In Winding Up: A maximum 15-year disqualification order may be imposed by the court for fraud during the winding up of a company.
Disqualification For Unfitness: The first case for disqualification because of unfitness is where the company is insolvent and cannot pay its debts, where an administration order has been made, or where an administrative receiver has been appointed. The second case is subsequent to an investigation of the company under the Companies Act.
Consequences Of Contravention: Criminal penalties await persons who act in contravention of a disqualification order. The offence may result in imprisonment for not more than two years and/or a fine, or imprisonment for not more than six months and/or a fine, for convictions on indictment or summary convictions respectively. The Act also enables the court to ‘look through' companies who commit the offences, to prosecute persons responsible for the contravention, or with whose consent or as a result of whose neglect the offences were committed. A register of disqualification orders is maintained by the Secretary of State.
There is no contravention if the director obtains the court's leave to act as director of a particular company or companies while subject to a disqualification order. The court may grant interim leave for a disqualified director to act in the period before the application for leave is heard if proper undertakings are given.
Resolution To Remove Director: A company can remove a director before his office was due to expire. This can be done by an ordinary resolution of the company, for which special notice is given. A copy of this notice must be sent to the director the company seeks to remove, who is given the opportunity to address the shareholders at the meeting at which the vote is to be taken. Accordingly, the decision to remove a director in this way cannot be made by written resolution. The director can also require the company to circulate any written representations that the director may wish to make to the shareholders who received notice of the meeting. The company cannot contract out of the right to remove directors under s. 303. However, it may be impossible to obtain a majority vote under s. 303, if the articles provide for weighted voting rights for particular shareholders on a resolution to remove a director from office.
DIRECTORS DUTIES
The duties owed by directors to the company fall into two distinct classes: a duty of care, and a fiduciary duty.
Duty of Care: a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. If directors act within their powers, if they act with such care as is reasonably to be expected from them, having regard to their knowledge and experience, and if they act honestly for the benefit of the company they represent, they discharge both their equitable as well as their legal duty to the company. It is another way of saying that directors are not liable for errors of judgment. A director is not bound to give continuous attention to the affairs of his company. He is not bound to attend all such meetings, though he ought to attend whenever, in the circumstances, he is reasonably able to do so. In respect of all duties that, having regard to the exigencies of business, and the articles of association, may be properly left to some other official, a director is, in the absence of grounds for suspicion, justified in trusting that official to perform such duties honestly.
Fiduciary Duty: In the normal course of the governance of the company's affairs, the fiduciary duties of the directors are owed to the company alone. This means the company as a separate legal entity, not the shareholders. Creation of a collateral duty to shareholders will depend on the facts and circumstances of a particular case. The directors should also remain impartial as between different groups of shareholders in the same company. However, the directors cannot place the interests of the group of which their company is a member above those of the company itself.
Duties Towards Creditors & Employees: While a company is solvent, its directors do not owe strictly defined fiduciary duties to the company's creditors, but are placed under a statutory obligation to consider the interests of employees. The duty of directors to take into account the interests of creditors is indirectly enforced through the rules which call for the directors to maintain capital levels, and which impose personal liability for fraudulent trading and wrongful trading immediately before liquidation.
Nature Of Directors' Fiduciary Duty: The directors should act bona fide in the interests of the company, and not for any collateral purpose. They must exercise their discretion bona fide in what they consider, not what a court may consider, is in the interests of the company. The courts are reluctant to interfere with the honest exercise of directors' discretion. The interests of the company are identified as those of the members as a whole. This embraces both current and future members, and necessitates the balancing of current and future benefits to the company.
Directors Profiting From Their Position: An important consequence of a director's fiduciary duty to his company is the prohibition placed upon him from profiting from this position. In cases where the courts have found the director to have done so, he has been made liable to account. However, it is possible for the company to agree to a director profiting from his position. Such agreement will be effective only if made after full disclosure to the company of the terms of the proposed transaction.
EXEMPTIONS ON LOANS TO DIRECTORS
An exemption of £5,000 for loans to each director is provided, from all companies within the same group. "Quasi-loans" are exempted if they are repayable within two months and the amount outstanding does not exceed £5,000. A further exemption is conferred for loans to directors which are made to meet expenditure incurred by them for purposes of the company's business, or to enable directors to perform their duties. The approval of the company in general meeting must be obtained and the total value of such loans outstanding cannot exceed £20,000. A company can also enter into credit transactions on behalf of directors, or persons connected with them, up to a value of £10,000 per director. Also outside the prohibitory rules are money-lending companies.
DIRECTORS TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM GUILTY COMPANY
The Court said that when an individual was ordered to pay a fine over a certain period there were arguments for keeping the period of that continuing punishment within bounds. Those arguments were much weaker in the case of a corporate defendant. A company would not be afflicted with the same sense of anxiety as an individual would be liable to be afflicted with. It was acceptable on proper facts and in appropriate circumstances for a fine to be payable by a company over a substantially longer period than might be appropriate in the case of an individual.
While it was right that the court must avoid the risk of double punishment where directors of small companies were likely also to be the shareholders (and thus the main losers if a severe sanction were imposed on the company), it was also important that in many cases fines be imposed which made quite clear that there was a personal responsibility on directors and that they could not shuffle off their responsibilities onto the company of which they were directors.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
An executive director is a director who holds some executive or management position within the company. Under Table A, the directors may appoint one or more of their number as managing director or to any other executive office (e.g. finance director) and determine the terms and remuneration of any such appointment. These powers are special powers which cannot be delegated by the board under reg. 72. The appointment of executive directors and the terms of such appointments must therefore be approved by a resolution of the board, unless the articles specifically allow another person or body to make appointments.
Regulation 72 allows the board to delegate its powers to individual executive directors. In delegating its powers, it may limit the executive's authority by imposing certain conditions. For example, the managing director may be given power to authorise capital expenditure up to a certain value with any expenditure above t
