Frequently Asked Questions
Does our charitable company have people with significant control we need to report?
Often no individuals qualify, but you must still assess and report the position. A CCLBG has no shareholders, so PSC status usually turns on rights to appoint or remove a majority of trustees or other significant influence, and many CCLBGs correctly record that they have no PSCs, which is itself a filing. Since November 2025 the PSC information lives on the Companies House register rather than a local book. The PSC guidance here works through the CCLBG-specific tests.
Is the confirmation statement different for a charitable company?
Same statement, same 50 pound online fee, same 12 month plus 14 day cycle, with charity-flavoured content: your trustees appear as directors, your members are guarantors rather than shareholders and PSC information reflects the guarantee structure. Since November 2025 it is also the compliance moment for trustee identity verification. The Confirmation Statements guidance for CCLBGs here translates each section of the form into charity terms.
Our charity's company secretary is resigning. What do we need to do?
Accept the resignation, notify Companies House within 14 days of the termination and update your records. A private charitable company is not required to replace the secretary, the trustees simply absorb the duties, though check your articles do not mandate the role. This sub-folder includes the secretary's resignation letter and the register of secretaries, and the neighbouring forms sub-folder covers the Companies House termination notice.
The Economic Crime Act keeps coming up. What does it mean for our charitable company specifically?
Everything it means for commercial companies applies to you: an appropriate registered office and registered email since March 2024, trustee identity verification because trustees are directors, the register of members as your only remaining local register and accounts reform from April 2028. Nothing in the Act exempts charities. The Economic Crime Act checklist for CCLBGs in this sub-folder is a headline summary trustees can review in one sitting.
