Companies Act 2006 - the final stages

UPDATES: The final stages of the Act are in force from 1 October 2009.  We have pages on the abolition of financial assistance for private companies, the new conflicts of interest rules which are now in force for directors, and the new simplified procedure for reduction of capital.

Read on below for information on the Companies Act 2006 generally.

The biggest piece of legislation ever.
Some 1,300 sections and 16 schedules.
The biggest reform of company law since 1929.
So what are the implications for your business?

Browse through our Companies Act 2006 pages using the links on the right.

As of 1 October 2009, all parts of the Act are in force.

The Act is unlikely to require big changes in the way you do things, but there are enormous changes to the detail. We recommend that all client companies review and change their articles of association, from October 2009 or shortly before. Click here for more information

Unless you're a listed company (not AIM), a professional adviser or you think you might be specially affected by the Act, we say you don't need to worry too much about the Act for now. Browse through these pages, register for email updates, then relax. When there is more to tell you, we'll email you a link to bring you back to these pages.
