When you register a Scottish public limited company it is necessary to have two directors, two shareholders and a company secretary. One of the directors may also be the secretary. Coddan can provide a company secretary to fill any or all of these roles for an annual fee.
In order to register a PLC it is necessary to have £50,000 of allotted share capital. Of these shares a quarter, or £12,500, must be paid up. In addition any premium paid on the shares (amount paid in addition to their market value) must be paid in full.
Before a public company starts trading it must have a certificate that entitles it to do business and borrow known as a trading certificate. The trading certificate will be posted out to you or faxed to your nearest Companies House office as soon as we have it.
Registering a Scottish public company is extremely quick and easy using Coddan's on-line system. A basic public company formation in Scotland starts from £145.00 and will have your company ready to trade within 6-8 working hours. Coddan's system allows you to nominate your directors and secretary at the outset rather than setting up with experts in place who then resign as other companies do.
