The most stressful part of setting up my Ltd. was trying to get a bank account, and because I'm a masochist I'm now trying to get a deposit account from Alliance and Leicester.
They say for companies incorporated less than 18 months, they need to see a copy of the 288a Appointment of Director or Secretary form, and 88(2) return of allotment of shares, neither of which I personally have.
The first one confuses me as surely that's the form you send off? Is it meant to come back officially stamped? What I don't understand is why Alliance and Leicester can't just use the Companies' House website to obtain the same information.
The second hopefully the company secretary has, and this is the real problem. I was stupid enough to assign a formation agent to be company secretary (for a fee) and I don't really have a lot of confidence in them. I was planning on changing this arrangement once the first year is up.
But so I can go armed with the facts, can anyone tell me if the company secretary should be in posession of this stuff?
Thanks.
