The implementation of The Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act will take place on Saturday 10th October 2015.
Personal Authentication Data is being replaced by a ?Consent to Act? when appointing Directors and Secretaries and also Members of Limited Liability Partnerships from 10th October 2015.
A written Consent to Act should be held by the company as proof of agreement by the Officer to be appointed. Companies House will notify all new officers of their appointment giving them a chance to dispute.

From 12 noon on Friday 9th October 2015
Companies House Online Filing services, which includes all new incorporations, will be unavailable for the electronic submission of documents. The service will resume on Saturday 10th October 2015.

A same day service for incorporations will be provided on Friday morning only, these will need to be submitted to Companies House by 10am. We would need the instructions by 9:30am to allow us to process the instructions and submit to Companies House.
