A private company limited by shares in England and Wales must have at least one director, one shareholder, and may have a secretary.

You need at least one person to form this type of company. If there is only one director, and that director is a natural person in your company, that director can also act as the secretary.

A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. This requirement is met if the office of director is held by a natural person as a corporation sole or otherwise by virtue of an office.

You can register a sole director' company, if you are familiar with the secretaries duties and responsibilities, because all of them belongs to a sole director.

The directors and secretary of your company can also be shareholders.

The Companies Act imposes no restriction on the minimum age of company directors. However Companies House will actively discourage the appointment of anyone under the age of 16 from taking up a company directorship on the grounds that the individuals concerned may not fully understand the legal liabilities that go with the position and for the most part will not have the experience necessary to perform the duties of a company director.

Under the Companies Act 2006, there is no restriction on any or all of the members/shareholders being from an overseas country (i.e. outside the United Kingdom in terms of residency, domicile, citizenship, place of incorporation or all or any of those concepts).

There is no requirement for the officers of your company to be UK citizens or residents, nor for them to hold valid work permits.

Owning, or being an officer of a UK company does not, however, grant you any right to live or work in the UK if you are a foreign national.

Your company must have a registered office address within England or Wales; this is the official address of your company and will be on the public record as such.

Your company must hold its official company documents at its registered office address: its register of shareholders, and its constitutional documents.

So long as you maintain a registered office address in England or Wales, you can conduct your business from any place in the world: you do not have to run your business from your registered office address.

Section 4

REVIEWS BY ORR OF ACCESS CHARGES AND LICENCE CONDITIONS

Introductory

Schedule 4A to the 1993 Act (review of access charges by ORR) is amended as follows.

Conduct of access charges reviews

For paragraph 1 (meaning of access charges review) substitute-

	"Application of Schedule
1	This Schedule applies where an access agreement provides, or is treated as providing, for the Office of Rail Regulation to undertake reviews of the terms of that agreement as to-
	(a) the amounts payable under the agreement by one of the parties to the other; and
	(b) the times at which, and the manner in which, those amounts are payable.
	Scope of review
1A	(1) Where the Office of Rail Regulation undertakes such a review, it must, at the same time, review the conditions of every linked licence both-
	(a) in relation to the matters mentioned in paragraph 1(a) and (b); and
	(b) in relation to the matters about which that Office is provided with information under paragraph 1D.
	(2) A review by that Office of both-
	(a) the terms of an access agreement as to the matters mentioned in paragraph 1(a) and (b), and
	(b) the conditions of a linked licence,
	is referred to in this Schedule as an access charges review.
	(3) An access charges review must include a consideration of-
	(a) the time at which the next access charges review is to be undertaken in relation to both the access agreement in question and every linked licence; and
	(b) the circumstances in which it would be appropriate to undertake such a review before that time.
	(4) In this Schedule "linked licence", in relation to an access agreement, means a licence of which the holder is-
	(a) the facility owner, or installation owner, who is a party to the agreement; or
	(b) a person other than that owner who has an estate or interest in the railway facility or network installation to which the agreement relates or who has a right over it.
	Response to request to carry out review
1B	Where-
	(a) the Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers suggest to the Office of Rail Regulation that an access charges review should be carried out in any case, but
	(b) that Office decides not to carry out the suggested review,
	that Office must provide the Secretary of State or Scottish Ministers with its reasons for that decision.
	Notice of access charges review
1C	(1) Before beginning an access charges review, the Office of Rail Regulation must give notice of its proposal to undertake the review to each of the following-
	(a) the Secretary of State;
	(b) the Scottish Ministers;
	(c) the Treasury;
	(d) the parties to the access agreement in question; and
	(e) such other persons as that Office considers appropriate.
	(2) No notice is required to be given under sub-paragraph (1) to the Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers-
	(a) in the case of the Secretary of State, if the facility or installation to which the relevant agreement relates is situated wholly in Scotland; or
	(b) in the case of the Scottish Ministers, if the facility or installation to which the relevant agreement relates is situated wholly in England and Wales.
	(3) A notice under this paragraph must set out-
	(a) the period to which the Office of Rail Regulation expects the review to relate ("the review period");
	(b) the date by which the Secretary of State, the Scottish Ministers or (as the case may be) each of them needs to provide the information that has to be provided under paragraph 1D; and
	(c) any conditions which that Office requires to be satisfied in the period ending with that date if it is to proceed with the review.
	(4) The period set out under sub-paragraph (3)(a) must be the one which-
	(a) begins with the time as from which the Office of Rail Regulation expects that any changes resulting from the review would fall to be implemented; and
	(b) ends with the time as from which it thinks it likely (in the absence of special circumstances making an earlier review appropriate) that any changes resulting from the next access charges review in relation to the same agreement and licence would fall to be implemented.
	(5) The date set out under sub-paragraph (3)(b) must be not less than the following period after the date of the notice-
	(a) in a case which the Office of Rail Regulation is satisfied is a case of urgency, four weeks; and
	(b) in any other case, three months.
	(6) Before setting out a date under sub-paragraph (3)(b) that is less than three months after the date of the notice, the Office of Rail Regulation must consult each of the persons to whom the notice is to be given.

	(2) Where a notice under paragraph 1C is given to the Scottish Ministers (whether instead of or as well as to the Secretary of State), they must provide the Office of Rail Regulation with-
	(a) information about what they want to be achieved by Scottish railway activities during the review period; and

	(b) may be discharged by a notification that refers that Office to information previously provided under this paragraph.

	(8) Neither-
	(a) the Secretary of State, nor
	(b) the Scottish Ministers,

	Notification of likely adverse effect on interests of certain providers of railway services

	(a) the Secretary of State, in the case of a review notice of which was given to him under paragraph 1C; and
	(b) the Scottish Ministers, in the case of a review notice of which was given to them under that paragraph.

	Duty to have regard to information about desired outputs and finances etc.

	(b) what the Scottish Ministers want to be achieved by Scottish railway activities.
	(2) Where in the case of an access charges review the Office of Rail Regulation considers (notwithstanding any notification or revision under paragraph 1F or 1G) that the public financial resources that are or are likely to become available will be inadequate to secure the achievement of, as the case may be-
	(a) everything that the Secretary of State wants to be achieved,
	(b) everything that the Scottish Ministers want to be achieved, or
	(c) everything that both the Secretary of State and the Scottish Ministers want to be achieved,

	(b) what the Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers want must be determined in every case in accordance with the information provided in that case under paragraph 1D, and with any revisions notified under paragraph 1F(3)(b) or 1G(3)(b); and
