Frequently Asked Questions
A trustee is joining or leaving our charitable company. Which Companies House form do we file and when?
AP01 for an appointment, TM01 for a departure, each within 14 days of the change. Trustees of a CCLBG are directors, so the ordinary director forms apply, and since November 2025 a new trustee must verify their identity for the appointment to proceed. Also tell the Charity Commission through your annual return or its trustee update service. The completed-example AP01 and TM01 forms here show the CCLBG-specific entries.
How do we change our charitable company's registered office?
Board approval, then form AD01 or the online equivalent, including the statement that the new address is appropriate: somewhere documents will reach a person acting for the charity and delivery can be acknowledged. The change takes effect when Companies House registers it. Stay within your jurisdiction of incorporation and update your stationery and website afterwards. The completed-example AD01 for a guarantee company charity is in this sub-folder.
What is a SAIL address and would our charity ever need one?
A single alternative inspection location: an address other than your registered office where statutory records can be kept and inspected. Since November 2025 its main remaining use is the register of members, which must be available at your registered office or a SAIL. It suits charities whose registered office is an accountant's address while records live elsewhere. Notify the location with AD02 and move records there with AD03; both example forms are here.
Do we still need these paper forms if we file online?
Online filing is faster and Companies House prefers it, but the completed-example forms remain useful in three ways: they show exactly what information each filing needs before you start, they cover the cases where paper is still used and they document internally what was filed and when. Treat them as preparation sheets for the online process. Each example in this sub-folder is completed for a charitable company so the entries translate directly.
