Company
Registration
The United Kingdom has enjoyed a system of company registration since
1844. Today, company registration matters are dealt with in law, by the
Companies Act 1985 and the updating legislation contained in the
Companies Act 1989.
All limited companies in the UK are registered at Companies House, an
Executive Agency of the Department of Trade and Industry. There are
more than 2 million limited companies registered in Great Britain, and
more than 300,000 new companies are incorporated each year. The main
functions of Companies House are to:
* incorporate and dissolve limited companies;
* examine and store company information delivered under the Companies
Act and related legislation;
and
* make this information available to the public.

The company registration number is: 06002410
Consumer Credit License
The Consumer Credit Act 1974 requires most businesses that offer credit
or lend money to consumers to be licensed by the Office of Fair Trading
(OFT). This includes where credit is arranged to finance the purchase
of goods or services. Licensing arrangements may also be required by
debt collectors, debt advisors and businesses that offer goods for hire
or leasing. Trading without a licensing arrangement is a criminal
offence and can result in a fine and/or imprisonment.
The Act also requires certain credit and hire arrangements to be set
out in a particular way and to contain certain information.

Data Protection Act
The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to access information
held about you by organisations. The act governs how organisations can
use the personal information that they hold - including how they
acquire, store, share or dispose of it.
The act is administered and enforced by the Information
Commissioner - an independent authority who is appointed by
the Queen and reports directly to parliament.
Data protection is an international issue which results from European
legislation.

Employers Liability
We, as employers, are required by the law to insure against liability
for injury or disease to their employees arising out of their
employment. Employees may try to claim compensation if they believe
their workplace was responsible. The Employers’ Liability
(Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 ensures that we have at least a minimum
level of insurance cover against any such claims. Our instruction is
with Norwich Union.
