Keep the company’s booksYou
Every company keeps a register of its members — each one’s name, address and shares — and minutes of its general meetings and directors’ meetings, recording who was there. The directors prepare the company’s accounts for periods of no more than 18 months; you choose the date of the first when you apply.
Put its name and office on your paperworkYou
The company’s name must appear, legibly, on its business letters, statements of account, invoices, order forms and notices — and the address of its registered office on its business letters and order forms.
Tell the Registry about changesYouthe Jersey Registry (JFSC)Within 21 days of a change of owners or controllers
A change to who owns or controls the company is notified within 21 days, free. Moving the registered office is a free notice — with the new occupier’s authority. A new name needs a special resolution and a new certificate, for £135. The nominated person files each of these on myRegistry.
