FAQ
In the letter, mention that you want to resign, specify when (usually at least two weeks ahead), and say why you are leaving. Consult your shareholders' agreement: A director who is also a shareholder must review the shareholders' agreement to see if it requires transfer of shares or other procedures/steps to take.
1. Notify your company secretary that a director wishes to resign. 2. Form 49, a letter of resignation, and a board resolution will be prepared by the company secretary.
Dear Members of the Board, I am writing to formally submit my resignation as Position on the Board of Directors of Company Name, effective Resignation Date. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on the board and contribute to the company's vision and growth over the past length of time.
Once your resignation has been accepted by your fellow directors, a TM01 form should be completed and sent to Companies House who will remove your name from the records they hold on the company. At this point your responsibilities are over as far as the company's ongoing operations are concerned.
What this means is that, subject to the company's articles of association, a sole director can resign leaving the company without any directors, and can do so without breaching their fiduciaries duties.
Directors have obligations under company law. These include acting in the best interests of the company, its employees, and its creditors, especially when the company is facing financial difficulties. Ignoring these responsibilities and simply walking away without addressing the debts can lead to legal consequences.
To resign as a company director, you need to file form TM01 with Companies House. You will also need to inform any fellow directors, in writing, of your intention to resign and serve any notice period as laid out in your employment contract.
Filing of Form DIR-12: The company must then file Form DIR-12 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This form serves as a notification of the director's resignation or removal, including cases where the position is vacated due to absence from meetings.
Ideally this should take the form of a written notice, either left at or send to the company's registered office, stating your intention to resign and the date this is to be effective from.
