What are a company’s statutory registers?

Statutory registers are the company’s own official records, which the Companies Act requires it to keep and keep up to date. They sit alongside — and often go further than — the public record at Companies House.

The main registers

• Register of members — the definitive record of who owns the shares.
• Register of directors and their residential addresses.
• Register of secretaries, where the company has one.
• PSC register — the people with significant control.
• Register of charges — security given over the company’s assets.

Where they are kept

Registers are held at the registered office or a single alternative inspection location (SAIL), and must be available for inspection. Compaxit builds each register from your live data and lets you download it as a branded PDF.
