Post Company Formation: How to resign a Director

If your limited company is on our company admin portal you can easily resign a director or secretary. To do this:

Login to the portal
• Select “My Companies”
• Select the relevant company name
• Scroll to “Directors” and select “Resign” next to the relevant director
• Enter the date of the resignation (this can be backdated) and select “Submit”

The request is then sent to Companies House where it’s normally processed within three working hours.

Please note that a company must have at least one person acting as a director.
