Board Minutes to Change Company Name by Special or Written Resolution

These board minutes record a board meeting convened to change a company’s registered name by special resolution in accordance with section 78 of the Companies Act 2006.

If the company’s articles of association provide another method for changing the company’s name, the company may choose to use that method instead. This is dealt with in a second set of board minutes provided within this group of documents.

What these minutes are intended to achieve

• Record the board’s decision to propose a special resolution to change the company’s registered name.
• Allow for the special resolution to be passed either at a general meeting or via the written resolution procedure.
• Allow for the meeting to be adjourned so that the general meeting can be held or the written resolution can be sent to all eligible members.

Name choice compliance

The company should confirm that its choice of new name complies with the Companies Act 2006, the Economic Crime & Corporate Transparency Act 2023 and all other relevant company names regulations.

Companies House filing

Following the passing of the special resolution, the company will need to file the appropriate form with Companies House. Form NM01 is the correct form for a change of name by resolution where there are no conditional requirements.

Who these minutes are for

These minutes are designed to be used by a private limited company.
