- The company’s purpose (its objects);
- The amount of share capital issued; and
- If company is required to prepare audit and disclose accounts under their parent law, the accounting period and period of disclosure.
These changes will apply to companies already registered as overseas companies in the UK and to all new overseas company registrations made after exit day.
In addition, after 31 December, the company will also be required to include the following information on letterheads, websites and order forms:
- Location of head office;
- Legal form of company;
- Its limited liability status;
- Its share capital; and if applicable,
- Notice that the company is being wound up or is subject to insolvency or any other similar proceedings.
